In this paper, we focus on early modern scents in the town of Oulu (Ostrobothnia, Finland) and the social and cultural significance of odors in societies. Written documentation reveals two basic sources of foul odors: urban ponds of waste and the smell of death produced by church burials. The world of smells had a more central and far more complex meaning in the past than today. In the process of urbanization during the 18th century, a more systematic and clean environment began to be more...

Memorializing Defeat: Remembering Civil Wars in Finland and USA (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Monuments, Memory, and Commemoration" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The consequence of the Civil Wars in Finland and USA differed from each other: the winning Finnish side, the Whites, organized violent revenge against the Reds, and almost 19,000 Reds died in POW camps or were executed immediately after the war. Until WWII, the Whites erected memorials representing their victory and ignoring the Red...
Memorials of the old churchyard in Tyrnävä (2018)
The old parish of Tyrnävä in coastal Northern Ostrobothnia, Finland, was in use from the 1640s until the 1890s. Two churches have been located on the site and the latest was burned down in arson in 1865. Several old grave memorials, mostly dating to the 19th century, are still present on the site. In 2017, a geophysical survey was performed on the site with ground-penetrating radar and magnetometer in an attempt to precisely locate the forgotten site of the burned church. During these studies,...
Memory and Fear of Pestilent in Northern Finland (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Burial, Space, and Memory of Unusual Death" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. During the 17th and the 18th century Finland, then part of Sweden, suffered from raging plague epidemics. Miasma, the idea of diseases spreading through foul smelling air, caused people to fear illnesses and corpses that had died during the epidemics such as plague. The traditional final resting place under the protecting roofs of churches...
Memory And Remembrance of The Early-Modern World – The Past In The Present-Day Finland (2023)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Poverty And Plenty In The North", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Finland was a part of Swedish kingdom some 700 years during the Medieval and early modern periods, before 1809. The country became an autonomous Grand Duchy of Russia as a consequence of the Napoleonic Wars 1809. The Finnish senate declared country’s independence at the December 1917. The new country and the nation had a necessity to find its...
Memory Making of Late 16th-Century Figures and Conflict in the 1920s and 1930s Finland (2021)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Archaeology of Urban Dissonance: Violence, Friction, and Change" , at the 2021 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The young independent Finland created its national narrative through different kind of statues and memorials after the independence 1917. Some memorials and statues were unveiled to commemorate some 300 years old conflicts and historical figures, especially in the 1920s and 1930s. The so-called Club War...
Memory, Forgetting and the War in Pictures (2016)
Pictures are one resource illuminating memory and forgetting of Finnish World War Two heritage. Pictures taken by Finnish Army photographers document wartime rituals, landscapes, and methods of warfare of German, Finnish and Soviet armies. In our paper we will examine how these wartime material practices and rituals were used to create, maintain and destroy identities and memory. Our discussion will focus on how the Finnish pictures were used to shape memory during and after the war.
Middle Age Saint Statues in Finland (2019)
This is an abstract from the "POSTER Session 3: Material Culture and Site Studies" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Lately Finnish people have been very interested about middle age and how people lived then. Church was very important in middle age. In medieval sculpture, the human figure was central. Sculpture and saint statues are not really church art, but their size and shape varied according to purpose. Usually the statues were also painted...
Mill Communities and Social Networks in the Early-Modern Finland (2018)
In the 17th and 18th centuries several proto-industrial mills were established in the present day Finland, at that time under rule of Swedish kingdom. Around the mills grew up close-knit communities, consisting of mill workers and their families, which were controlled and ruled by the mill owners. This poster discusses two divergent Finnish early industrial communities, Pikisaari pitch mill community in the town of Oulu and Östermyra ironworks community in southern Ostrobothnia. We will compare...

Mourning and Remembering: Memorials at a Pet Cemetery in Oulu, Finland (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Mortuary Monuments and Archaeology: Current Research" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Contrary to socially and legislatively controlled human burial grounds with organized maintenance, pet cemeteries with their inherent do-it-yourself character are often stages for more spontaneous expressions of grief and longing. The evidence of remembering varies from nearly unmarked graves to elaborate memorials with...
Mourning for children in northern Finland – Funerary attire in the 17th–18th century contexts (2016)
This paper examines commemorating children in premodern northern Finland. The hypothesis is that high child mortality (forty percent died before the age of four) affected the ways in which children were commemorated and how childhood was perceived. The primary question is, how mourning is visible in the coffin textiles and accessories? These materials have been unearthed both in town and rural cemeteries, while some of the clothes are dressed on mummified deceased below church floors. The...

The Pitch Tar Mill – the material memory of specialized production site in the town of Oulu, Northern Finland (2015)
The town of Oulu, northern Finland, had one of the northernmost pitch tar mills in global scale. Thousands of barrels of tar were cooked into a pitch tar in the island of Pikisaari annually during the 18th and 19th centuries. The island has been specialized production site for pitch tar and ship building during the 17th and 19th centuries and metal industry at 20th century. Thus, the pitch was not the only product of the mill area. There have been found artifacts, like tools and stone ware and...
The Pitch Tar Mills in the Gulf of Bothnia’s Early Modern Coastal Towns, Northern Finland (2016)
During the 18th and early 19th centuries, every coastal town in northern Finland’s Gulf of Bothnia had their own pitch tar mills. The pitch was produced from boiling tar and used as creosote to make wooden sailing ships watertight. The global need for pitch and tar made these products an important export product for early modern Swedish trade. The pitch tar mills were often located near towns on the mainland’s coast or on offshore islands nearby. Since 1640 in the town of Oulu, for instance, the...
Plans without Plants? – The Early Modern Status Garden in the North (2018)
Garden culture reached the northernmost Sweden, creating new spaces by locals and newcomers from Central-Europe. The history of status gardens in the north affiliate with the spread of ironworks and trade connections. The idea of formal gardening arrived in Tornio during the late 17th century as garden drawings from Tornio and Kengisbruk ironworks imply. The garden fashion, which studied using macrofossils and maps, was visible more in structures and plans than in plants. However, gardens and...
The politics of landscape depiction in the Finnish WWII army photographs (2018)
We will discuss the role of landscape photography in a conflict situation. The Finnish Information Company photographers took numerous pictures in East Karelia, present-day northwest Russia during WWII. East Karelia had been the focus of Finnish romantic nationalism long before World War II – it was the supposed birthplace of the Finnish tribe, a place of pure and primal Finnish culture. During the Continuation War Finnish troops occupied parts of East Karelia and the Information Company...
Poor and Poorly? The archaeology of inequality in a Nordic welfare state (2023)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Poverty And Plenty In The North", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Finland is a modern Nordic welfare state and has a coherent national narrative about poverty or rather the inexistence of it. In this paper we examine a community called Vaakunakylä that was located in Oulu, Finland during the post-war reconstruction period (1947-1987). The community that lived there was subject to eviction from their homes...
Preparing children’s burials in Post-Medieval Finland: Emotions awaken by sensory experiences (2018)
The sensory experiences create emotions that are culturally constructed and constituted. In order to understand how individuals were mourned, it is important to examine the ritual of preparing the dead for burial. The ritual is packed with sensory experiences, for instance the smell of death and sight of the coffin. Through examining Post-Medieval Finnish funerary material (textiles, accessories, coffins), this paper will sense by sense demonstrate the experiences of those individuals that took...
Prosthetic Memories, Finnish WWII Army Photographs and Online Commemoration (2019)
This is an abstract from the "POSTER Session 2: Linking Historic Documents and Background Research in Archaeology" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. We will examine Finnish Army photographs from World War Two, that we argue, can shape Finnish views of the war. The photographs have been published in an online gallery, and have mnemonic potential beyond their use in scholarship. Images can be viewed as what Alison Landsberg calls "prosthetic...

Reintegrating a Traumatized Nation: Grief, Memory, and Reconciliation at Finnish Civil War Sites (2019)
This is an abstract from the "The Transformation of Historical Archaeology: Papers in Honor of Charles E Orser, Jr" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In 1918 Finland fought an enormously brutal civil war between "White" and "Red" factions. During and after the war, victorious White forces conducted mass executions and buried large numbers of Reds and their sympathizers in shared graves, but there was very little formal commemoration of that...
