Real estate developments and roadworks are revealing previously undiscovered pieces of history.

No fewer than 900 burials were unearthed last year – a figure that surprised even experienced archeologists.

A little over 100 burials have been documented this year. An extension of the local grocery store in Tori, Pärnu County revealed 88 burials. The former state farm cafeteria was erected right next to the church and in the middle of the parish cemetery in 1966. A multitude of bones and items were discovered but were not studied at the time.
