Database

The Osiliana archaeological database brings together artefacts from Saaremaa and the surrounding small islands.

Most of Saaremaa’s archaeological finds are held in the collection of the Saaremaa Museum and in the Tallinn University Research Collection.

We are gradually adding more and more finds and hope that it will become a useful tool for all history and archaeology enthusiasts!
