Flax use, weeds and manuring in Viking Age Åland
Charred masses of nearly 100,000 Linum usitatissimum (flax) seeds were found in house remains from Tjudnäs on the Åland Islands, Finland, and radiocarbon dated to ad 880–1020. The flax seeds were large and discovered in lumps, which indicates that they had been pressed for their oil. The flax was accompanied by seeds of Cuscuta epilinum , Lolium remotum , Galium spurium and Camelina alyssum/sativa , which are specific weeds of flax fields that mi…
Corded Ware Culture Plant Gathering at the Narva-Jõesuu IIB Settlement and Burial Site in Estonia
Plant use of the Corded Ware Culture (2800–2000 cal BC) communities in Estonia and more broadly in the eastern Baltic area has not been systematically studied using archaeobotanical methods. This article presents the first archaeobotanical study from a Stone Age context in Estonia, and discusses plant use at the Corded Ware Culture settlement and burial site of Narva-Jõesuu IIB in the north-eastern part of the country. Analysis revealed the first…
The Color of the Grave is Green’ – Moss and Juniper in Early Medieval Graves at Toppolanmäki, Finland
Two graves, initially discovered in the 1930s, were reopened and examined in 2017 and 2018 at the Early Medieval cemetery of Toppolanmäki, Finland. Soil samples taken from the graves were sampled for macrofossils, pollen and microfauna. Pollen and spore analysis provided possible evidence for the use of mosses and juniper branches in the graves. Also, moss-indicating microfauna (Euglypha spp.) was detected. At Toppolanmäki, mosses were used in bo…
Archaeobotanical studies of past plant cultivation in northern Europe
Landscape dynamics in southern Finland during the Iron Age and the Early Modern Era — Pollen-based landscape reconstruction (LRA), macrofossil and historical data from Western Uusimaa
Hidden and Remote
The wetland find in Levänluhta (western Finland) consists of unburnt, mixed up remains from almost 100 human individuals along with artefacts and animal bones. This spring site, a small lake at the time of use ( ad 300–800), has been investigated archaeologically from the late nineteenth century onwards. An impressive array of finds, including precious artefacts, is on display at the National Museum of Finland. However, the material has not previ…
