The Swedish national register of archaeological sites is one of the best in the world. But if you ever consider using it for any kind of research purpose, have a look first at the register's map of sites just west of Örkelljunga in Scania. The diagonal line is the parish boundary between Tåssjö and Rya. Tåssjö has undergone intensive survey for forest sites, most of which derive from Early Modern resource extraction. Rya has not.

"Dear local funding agency. As can be seen by graphic #1, the area of Rya is in a deplorable state, with nary a single interesting archaeological site in all of the parish. In order to compete against the vastly better Örkeljunga historical tourism numbers we need to comission a number of exploratory investigations to improve our global attractiveness."
Haha, yeah!
