Roosal sätendaval taustal: @chronicamonika kirjutab Toompea Suur osa Toompea hoonestusest ja kirjalikest allikatest hävis 1684. aasta tulekahjus ja varemed jäid paksu rusukihi alla. Nii polegi piiskopipaleest varem nõnda põhjalikult kirjutatud - head lugemist! Aga piiskoppide krundi idaserva ulatus kunagi üks teinegi oluline objekt... 04 ja nool paremale Pildi vasakus servas foto sama roosa-sinise ruudulise jopega ja helkurvestiga naisest (mina), kiivrit enam peas pole. Naine hoiab käes suurt kala selgroolüli. Foto autor U. Gnadenteich (Postimees). Fotole suunab pilku sinine nool pildi keskosas tekstiga: Vaatan siin fotolavastuse jaoks suure huviga ühte kalaluud, sest midagi muud polnud parasjagu võtta

Roosal sätendaval taustal: @chronicamonika kirjutab Suur auk Nimelt paljandus seal looduslikku paasi. Toompea paemurruga olen aastate jooksul sattunud kokku Toom-Kooli tänava erinevatel kruntidel välitöid tehes. Nii on kaks värskemat artiklit selle paemurru kohta minu sulest. Saladuskatte all saan jagada, et praegu on toimetaja käes aga täitsa uus käsitlus, mis peaks ilmuma juba sel aastal. 05 ja nool paremale Pildi paremas servas on katke H. Marescheti maalist (1585-1586), millel kujutatud Berni linnalegendi. Maalil murravad kaks meest tööriistadega paasi.

Roosal sätendaval taustal: @chronicamonika kirjutab Paemurd Kuigi tulemusi veel avaldada ei saa, siis lisaks linnaruumi arengule uurisin, kui suur oli paemurd, kes paekivi murdsid, milleks paekivi kasutati ja kuidas Toompea paemurd 13. sajandist keskaja lõpuni rusuga täitus. Seega tõid piiskopid, paekivi ja Toompea minu töölauale minu varasemad välitööd erasektoris. Aga kas sa üldse teadsid, et arheoloogid töötavad Eestis ka erasektoris? OSA LÕPP Pildi vasakus servas jätkub katke H. Marescheti maalist (1585-1586), millel kujutatud Berni linnalegendi. Maalil murravad kaks meest tööriistadega paasi.

Mõtlesin alguses seda vaid IG-s teha, aga kuna siin on rahvas juba teemaga veits kursis, jagan esimest osa siin ka. Nii #paekivi kui #Toompea #piiskopid olid tegelikult väga toredaks vahelduseks doktorantuuri ajal, sest üks hetk tuleb sellist suurt tööd kirjutades sein ette 2/2 Projekt: #PRG2026
