Byrån för Glömda Saker

The bureau of Forgotten Things

A child-led investigation of a heritage site by Lilla Änggården. 

The Byrå’s second workshop at Lilla Änggården (2 of 4). 

 

The mission for the second workshop at Lilla Änggården was to explore the remains of an old cabin, called Härbret. The cabin burned down in the 1980s, but had been used as far back as the 1800s. 

With us, we took several archaeological tools, including a large sieve, shovels, brushes, and wooden markers (some designed for this workshop and others salvaged from second-hand stores). 

Once on site, children unearthed many forgotten things. The list includes:

  • a stone
  • a worm
  • many, many bricks
  • a piece of porcelain (from the 1800s!)
  • a burned piece of wood
  • a wire
