The Merivälja homeowner has not responded to Dennis Åsberg's follow-up email, but Dennis Åsberg has not given up trying to obtain permission to conduct a ground-penetrating radar study of the site.
“I have not answered my mail either. But I have not given up. Beatriz and I will try again to see if we can get any connection with them and see if we can also use ground radar.”

Dennis Åsberg prefers to use ground-penetrating radar rather than excavators to investigate the Merivälja site, because ground-penetrating radar can reveal soil layers and whether digging or removal has occurred without physically disturbing the ground.
“We don't do it in a simple way instead with ground radar. Then you can see all the layers and we can also see if they have digged there. If they have taken up something, we're going to see that directly.”
