Abducted by a Terrestrial Alien
This account explores how circumstances verging on the other‐worldly alter human perception and consciousness in a fieldwork situation. The case study involves an archaeological field survey team stranded for a time on a remote Lapland mountain. By applying the method of weirding, drawing inspiration from the narrative force of weird fiction, we examine how the team interacted with their decrepit shelter—a cabin teeming with fungal life amidst th…
Archaeology of Finland’s Only “Permanent Glacier”
The first cryosphere archaeological survey in Finland underlines the exponential melt rates seen around the Earth. Our research shows that the formerly perennial Ritničohkka snowfield in Sápmi has completely vanished over the past two decades. Recent melting has uncovered notable assemblages of animal osseous material, which based on radiocarbon dating were deposited in the area over two millennia. Besides bones, the survey recovered traces of hu…
Lacustrine Landscapes of the Red-ochre Cliff Paintings in Finland
The majority of prehistoric pictographs in Finland are located in the Lakeland region. Throughout millennia, shoreline changes have affected lacustrine landscapes and water routes. The main cause is the uneven rate of post-glacial land uplift, which causes land to tilt over time. This tilt has resulted in both gradual and rapid geographic changes. Tracking these changes may unveil how the people themselves regarded this temperamental landscape. W…
Introducing the Post-Glacial Land Adjustment Regenerator (GLARE) for simulating the Final Pleistocene/Holocene geographic change in North Europe
Phantasmic Encounters in the Arctic
In the vast north, ghostly experiences are common for locals and outsiders alike. Here, we explore how cultural-natural attributes, like remoteness and extreme seasonal variation, compound experiences of the haunting in visceral ways. This provides the Arctic region with an unusually pronounced baseline of other-than-human agency, which in the Sápmi region is further accentuated by unsolicited traumas of the past. Among the more recent tragedies …
A large fifth-millennium BC cemetery in the subarctic north of the Baltic Sea
The European far north is an improbable location for a large prehistoric hunter-gatherer cemetery. Tainiaro, 80km south of the Arctic Circle, was first excavated four decades ago but the unpublished findings and their potential significance have evaded wider recognition. Despite the absence of skeletal evidence, dozens of fifth-millennium BC pits have been tentatively interpreted as burials. Here, the authors present the first analytical and comp…
All Fun and Games? Relationships between Finnish Police Dogs and Their Handlers
The paper presents the first cultural anthropological study of the Finnish canine police force. The study is based on interviews with eleven police dog handlers. The interviews focused on the cultural model of the profession, with emphasis on the interaction between dogs and their handlers. The relationship is surprisingly reciprocal. It can be understood as operating on the principles of an interspecies social contract, where the categorical div…
Communities Beyond Society
This article presents a comparison of material records of two nearby regions on the coast of the Bothnian Bay. The timeframe is 5300–2000 BCE. The focus is on regional differences, which indicate a schizmogenesis of communal identities. The study calls for a reorientation of research concerning Fennoscandian prehistory. More attention should be paid to localized prehistories. It is argued that when prehistoric society is used as a fundamental gro…
Interpreting Prehistoric Labor North and South of the Forager-Agricultural Frontier in Central Fennoscandia, Northern Europe
The prehistory of Fennoscandia is characterized by a split of the north and south into what is commonly interpreted as forager and agricultural subsistence contexts. The cultural divergence between the two took place in the region over the span of 4,000 years. This article focuses on analyzing products indicative of extrasubsistence labor, which signify distinct-yet-comparable activities in the divergent regional contexts. The activities are stud…
Living with death
Mortuary practices evident in the materiality of Central Fennoscandia in Northern Europe are interpreted here rather unconventionally as expressions of morality. This is defined as the culturally approved way to manage death, without scruples. The last seven millennia are set on a flat temporal scale in this paper, revealing contradictions between different ideologies and worldviews over that time. The ubiquitous themes that emerge are agency of …
