Description:

In 1975 burial site 12 a in Kvillinge parish, Östergötland was investigated. At the same time a small phosphate mapping was also performed. The reason for the investigation was a planned railway, from the southern main line to the industrial area Braviken located at the far end of Malmölandet. The ivestigation was carried out from 28/04/1975 to 04/07/1975.
