Following the success of the TikTok format from previous years, archaeologist Dr Monika Reppo (@chronicamonika) is joined by colleagues Dr Erki Russow and PhD-student Tuuli Jõesaar in 2025 to introduce some spectacular archaeological finds from a medieval landfill. The site, excavated from April 2018–May 2019 yielded more than 40,000 artefacts from gold rings and cloth seals to leather shoes and much more. Wherever you are in Europe, join us to learn about material culture in late 15th-century Tallinn!
