Lehmja settlement site

The settlement of Lehmja is a former settlement, currently located in the municipality of Rae, Estonia, on the territory of the village of Jüri and the village of Piimiküla, Patika and Kurna, at the road node of the Tallinn-Tartu highway Jüri. The settlement was discovered during roadworks between 1985 and 1992. Following the discovery, extensive archaeological excavations took place: under the patronage of Ain Lavi and Ardo Niinre, an area of 17,530 m2 was examined. The excavations showed that the southern part of the area was already inhabited at the end of the I millennium BC.
