摘要：This issue of Mirator represents the outcome of the Conference on Church Archaeology in the Baltic Sea Region held on the 26thto 30thof August 2013 in Turku, Finland. The roots of this conference are in the long tradition of Scandinavian gatherings called Symposium f.r nordisk kyrkoarkeologi ('Symposium for Nordic Church Archaeology') started in 1981 in Moesg.rd, Denmark. The third symposium in the series was held 1987 in Turku. Over a quarter of century later, church researchers gathered in Turku for the second time – the eleventh time in the series of these events – with a wider scope. The event was an international conference with English as the language of discussion instead of the Scandinavian languages spoken in the earlier, smaller symposia.
