August 20, 2007 | permalink |



For our Geo Quiz today we were looking for Finland's largest northern city. The answer is Oulu.

And north of Oulu there's an archeological dig. Among neolithic spears and amber jewelry, there was also some old gum. 5,000 year old gum. The find was made by Sarah Pickin, a British student of the University of Derby in England.

Listen to the interview from today's program.
