During 2000-2004 and 2008-2012, research investigations were carried out at the Finnestorp site. A site that turns out to contain finds that belong to the category of "the finest and most exquisite objects from Sweden's pre-Christian era" and it belongs to one of the most important remains from the prehistory of the Nordic region. These mighty men whose arsenal consisted of magnificent gilded swords, lances and shining golden horse equipment. Items of royal value, made by the finest craftsmen in Europe at the time. This year's application concerns a very limited fieldwork around the Finnestorp sacrificial site as well as one of the most spectacular gold finds such as the site of the gold collar from Möne (north of Ulricehamn) and the battlefield at Varola. The ongoing research work includes small excavations, conservation of a small number of objects, international comparisons and publication of the research work in the form of a major scientific book and a popular science book. In 2013, work began on analyzing the metal objects from Finnestorp. The first book volume on Finnestorp will be published in 2014.
