Archaeologist Ari Siiriäinen (1939-2004) published several reports detailing the findings of his field studies in East Africa, of which this is one. He meticulously reports on the artifacts excavated at various rockshelters and a burial cairn in the Laikipia region, emphasising the cultural continuity that he sees in his findings. 125 pp. Edge wear to the dust jacket.

The thesis is connected with death, memory and ancestor commemoration during the Merovingian Period, the Viking Age and the beginning of the Crusade Period (AD 5501150) in Finland. During this time, cremation was the dominant burial rite. Three different burial types 1) cremation cemeteries below level ground, 2) inhumation burials and 3) water burials are discussed in five articles. This thesis shows that it is possible to claim that both artefact and site re-use is a much more widespread phenomenon than has previously been thought in Finnish archaeology. It is also a conscious and deliberate behaviour that can be related to an ancestor cult and commemoration of the dead. 0.0.

The research sets out new information on a group of medieval wall paintings made in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries in the Diocese of Turku. The paintings have been attributed to church builders and they form a portion of their work. The research examines the actual wall paintings in about thirty medieval stone churches, the workshops that executed them and the visual practices which governed the making. In addition, light is shed on both Diocesan and parochial contexts for the images and image-making, and the ways in which they were connected to the political, economic and local endeavours in the Diocese of Turku. The research seeks to explore new ways to approach the paintings, long regarded as theoretically difficult visual material in the context of Finnish medieval art.

Softcover. Condición: Near Fine. 1st Edition. The essential questions in this study are the following: How did the settlement pattern change during prehistory? How did people change their subsistence strategies in the course of time? Did the cultural development in two areas of northern Lapland, Enontekiö and Inari, follow the same direction or take different directions? The hunter or hunter-fisher societies have changed their subsistence strategies when needed and modified them to adapt to the changed environmental conditions. Because the vegetation and climate have changed quite a lot during the last millennia, human activities have to adapt to the changing environment.

The paintings are almost without exception located on steep lakeshore cliffs associated with ancient water routes. The range of motifs is rather limited, consisting mainly of schematic depictions of stick-figure humans, elks, boats, handprints and geometric signs. This dissertation is a critical review of the interpretations offered of Finnish rock art and an exploration of the potentials of archaeological and ethnographic research in increasing our knowledge of its meaning.

This doctoral project is a comprehensive study of Early Metal Period (c. 1900 BCE300 CE) ritual/burial cairns in the Finnish Lake District, known as 'Lapp cairns'. In this study, the Lake District includes Central Finland, North Savo, South Savo, North Karelia, South Karelia, Pirkanmaa, Kanta-Häme, Päijät-Häme and northern Kymenlaakso. Lapp cairns are typically located on elevated bedrock sites along lakeshores. Their diameter is usually 310 m, at a height of 0.30.7 m. The most typical Lapp cairn find contains a small amount of burnt human bone, but it is not present in all Lapp cairns. Other finds include quartz and flint flakes, animal bone and occasional metal or stone objects. Lapp cairns resemble contemporary cairns in coastal Finland but are surrounded by dwelling sites, suggesting mobile fisher-huntergatherer lifeways, in contrast to more sedentary and agricultural life around the coastal cairns. Early Metal Period cairn building in the Lake District is still a poorly understood phenomenon. Of the several hundred probable or attested Lapp cairns known in the area, only some 20 were excavated before this study, and the excavations revealed intriguing differences between the cairns. Therefore, the main research questions of this study target the very basics of the Lapp cairn phenomenon. When, why and who adopted cairn building in the Lake District? How did the cairns relate to the natural and cultural landscape around them? What was common to all Lapp cairns as ritual sites, and what kind of ritual variation existed between them? Were there temporal or regional developments in the Lapp cairn tradition?
