Excellent documentary picture, Juha.


This is a model of a wood tar pit pile showing the birch wood piled up, the layer of soil on top and a few more construction elements.
The pits are set up close to where the woods is cut.
The tar is derived from the wood in a smoldering process, it is collected at the bottom of the pit.
Unfortunately I did not get a broader perspective of the model.
