Lessons learned
- more awareness of the possibility of underwater cultural heritage sites in port areas is needed in Finland
- archaeological surveys at an early stage in the project planning – avoiding surprises; archaeological finds are possible in areas that have undergone heavy modifications
- importance of positive cooperation
