The site ispart of an ongoing research project at Uleåborg University in Finland.The site has been excavated for three seasons. The 2007 excavationwas the first that had participants from Georgia and Sweden. Previousresearch declared the site as a chapel from the Middle Ages inScandinavia (thirteenth and fourteenth centuries). The authors discussthat in the light of the new results it is time to reassess the siteand its function in society in its own time and context. Based on theresults from the 2007 expedition, the authors suggest a new approachto the site and state it as a complex context for an inn that has its rootsin the Middle Ages.
