Q: What does the winner get?
A: The winner gets bragging rights and the chance to host

I don't know whether this will be easy or hard but it's a pretty well known site so I don't expect it to last too long.
Here we go:
The archaeologically interesting part is the hill directly to the south-east of the modern houses.
Have fun and good luck!
EDIT:
Since nobody has found out yet here's a second picture, courtesy of Windows Live Local.
You can see the modern farm better in this one which should allow you to determine the country we're in.
OK, clues:
We're in Northern Europe.
The site is a gravefield.
The site is very close to the centre of power of the svear kings.
Any suggestions?
AntwortenLöschenDo you need more hints or is nobody even reading this?

AntwortenLöschenAh ha!
AntwortenLöschenIt the Valsgärde grave field:
Swedish Vendel Age (part of the Iron age (c. 550–793) and the Viking Age); it was used for more than 300 years. The first ship burial is from the 6th century and the last graves are from the 11th century.
Very cool :) That was a tricky one!
Yes!
