• Resumen

  • The excavation of the late-medieval churchyard of the drowned village 'Old Scheemda' yielded remains of construction wood, a hedge, graves, a few wheels, household items and tools. Among a total of 117 piecesof wood only 8 wood species were encountered. Quercus is the predominant species, followed by Betula and Alnus; the latter species is remarkably scarce. There is evidence of the imported wood species Pinus and Picea being used at medieval Scheemda.
