Finland became independent at the 1917. The 1920s and 1930s were the period when...

Sacred, Forgotten and Remembered – Forgotten Sacred Places in Northern Ostrobothnia, Finland (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Titta Kallio-Seppä. Terhi T. Tanska.

In this paper we discuss how sacred places in Northern Ostrobothnia, Finland lost their sacred meanings. Churches and graveyards in the early 17th century town of Oulu and 14th to early 17th century rural Ii were destroyed, forgotten and eventually turned into part of secular residential areas. Consequently the social memory of these places changes over time, becoming forgotten, then erroneously remembered, and finally rediscovered and brought to public attention by archaeologists....

Sawed Bones - Archaeological History of Autopsies in Finland (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Ulla Moilanen. Anne-Mari Liira. Maija Helamaa. Heli Lehto. Kari Uotila. Kati Salo.

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. The 18-19th century laws and regulations in Sweden and Finland stated that an autopsy should be carried out in suspected criminal cases to determine cause of death. According to contemporary sources, non-anatomical autopsies were quite rare, and only performed to a distinct group of people: those who had committed suicide, died in hospital or...

Story of an unusually preserved early modern Vicar in Finnish Lapland (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Tiina Väre. Juho-Antti Junno. Markku Niskanen. Milton Núñez. Sirpa Niinimäki. Jaakko Niinimäki.

The custom of burying beneath church floors, commonly practiced among the early modern elite, is responsible for the mummification of the remains of a Northern Finnish vicar, Nikolaus Rungius (c.1560–1629). The mummy of Vicar Rungius exhibited since the 18th century is the source of several local stories. A computed tomography (CT) imaging performed on his remains allowed examining his anthropometric features, but it also revealed indications of pathological conditions of which the Vicar may...

Sámi animal offering rituals in Fennoscandia: Religious change and local responses to colonial contact (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Anna-Kaisa Salmi.

The paper focuses on the archaeology of religious ritual of the Sámi, an indigenous group populating the northern parts of Fennoscandia. I will discuss how religious ritual, especially animal offerings, transformed in response to colonial contact with the Swedish and Norwegian settlers. The animal offerings, given to negotiate success in hunting, fishing, and reindeer husbandry among other things, reflected the shifting economic and religious importance of various animal species. I will argue...

Textiles – Decay and preservation in burials (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Sanna Lipkin. Erika Ruhl.

Archaeological textiles are a rare find, often closely associated with human remains. While the decay of human remains is impacted and even slowed by the presence of funerary clothes, decomposition processes can likewise serve to preserve textile materials. This paper examines the taphonomy of funerary textiles in close association with human remains in northern Finnish contexts, addressing a series of in situ burials still "dressed" in funerary clothing. Some burials examined in this paper...
