Behind us is a truly great weekend on the island of Muhu!
In addition to the two silver treasures, we also found remains of structures in the deeper layer of the trench made at the site of the larger treasure. According to the surfing we did on the surrounding land, the cultural layer covered an area of about 4 hectares, which means that there was a significant settlement around the fortress of Muhu. It seems that we have found the same town (urbs) that, according to Henry of Livonia’s chronicle, was razed and burnt down by the crusaders after the hillfort of Muhu was conquered.
