fisksätra history class

Fisksätra has been known as Fisksätra for more than a thousand years. Back then the sea level was five meters higher than today and I would have had an even shorter way to the beach. Back in 1968 the archaeologist Kerstin Östmark excavated two viking graves here. One was where the the small indoor arena/gymnasium is now, just by the train station and the other was where the entrance to Braxengatans laundry room is now. Some believes that there may be more graves under the rocks that you can find at the height behind the sport arena. You can see some of them in the picture above. Pretty cool.
