Tämä juhlakirja koostuu neljästäkymmenestäkolmesta professori Riho Grünthalin (s. 22.5.1964) 60-vuotispäiväksi kirjoitetusta lahjasta. Opiskelu- ja työtoverit sekä oppilaat tarkastelevat artikkeleissaan uralilaisen kielikunnan eri haaroja sekä kielten ja puhujayhteisöjen esihistoriaa. Kirjoituksissa käsitellään Grünthalille läheisiä aiheita. Tutkit...

The conventional 'Neolithic package' comprised animals and plants originally domesticated in the Near East. As farming spread on a generally northwest trajectory across Europe, early pastoralists would have been faced with the challenge of making farming viable in regions in which the organisms were poorly adapted to providing optimal yields or eve...

This interdisciplinary study applies a series of environmental tests developed in Fennoscandia to elaborate the patterns created by contemporary and past reindeer husbandry along the Zhuia River, Bodaibo district, Irkutsk oblast’, Russian Federation. We successfully used pollen and fungal spore analysis to document the long-term use of one site by...

The Bronze Age site of Kivutkalns with its massive amount of archaeological artifacts and human remains is considered the largest bronze-working center in Latvia. The site is a unique combination of cemetery and hillfort believed to be built on top of each other. This work presents new radiocarbon dates on human and animal bone collagen that somewh...

The hypothesis: active periphery with peripheral centres The purpose of this chapter is to indicate diversity in an area which in a large-scale perspective is usually placed at the margins of the Scandinavian Bronze Age. My hypothesis is, however, that the current territory of Finland and the Karelian Isthmus were not a homogeneous far-away periphe...

The iron dating project Aikarauta has been launched in Finland. This paper presents the results of the preliminary investigations. The ability for radiocarbon measurement by accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) of iron in Finland has been demonstrated by using coal-produced iron as reference material. An elemental analyzer has been harnessed to meas...

Twenty-three samples of charred food remains, charcoal, burned animals, and human bones from 14 Lithuanian prehistoric sites were dated by radiocarbon as part of a dating project oriented towards renewing the prehistoric ceramics chronology. The new dates modified the dating of ceramic styles by hundreds to a thousand years. Three Textile Ware sher...

The Early Metal Period (1800 cal BC–AD 300) of the Finnish inland regions is characterized by a scarcity of archaeological remains. Its latest stages, in particular, have proved to be difficult to interpret. This paper discusses the continuity of settlement in the Early Metal Period as indicated by archaeological survey and pollen-analytical data....

The Karelian Isthmus has played a central role in understanding Finnish Stone Age and Early Metal Period. This is because of its topographic position with waterways which are connecting several large water basins – the Gulf of Finland, Lake Ladoga and Lake Saimaa. During the Stone Age and Early Metal Period several changes have taken place in the w...

The geological history of Lake Ladoga, its connection with the Baltic basin, the formation of the Neva River, and the development of the whole region by people have been studied by Russian and Finnish scholars for a long time. Investigations carried out over the last fifteen years [1‐4] have made it possible to obtain new data on the problem; never...

Panoramic images are efficiently used for documenting archaeological sites and objects. In our paper we present a new approach in developing the use of panoramic images for archaeological survey. The work is part of the Finnish Jabal Haroun Project, in Petra, Jordan. The primary motivation has been in developing a procedure for field invention, in...

Abstract: Abstract: Abstract: During the last years the investigations of Stone Age and Early Metal sites on the Karelian Isthmus were much intensified. Presently, about 180 archaeological sites belonging to these periods are recorded. A considerable part of these sites have been found and inves- tigated by joint cooperative efforts of Russian and...

Keskustelua Mikä vaivaa arkeologian ja luonnontieteiden yhteistoimintaa? Elokuun puolessavälissä vuonna 2001 Uumajan yliopiston ympäristöarkeologian oppiaine järjesti neljän päivän mittaisen Nordic Conference on the Application of Scientific Methods in Archaeology-konferenssin. Yhteispohjoismainen konferenssi (SMlA) järjestettiin kahdeksannen kerra...

Kulttuuri – ihmettelemisen arvoinen käsite Siirtykäämme mielessämme sodanjälkeiseen Suomeen, jossa moni asia oli raunioina, maa pirstottu ja monia asioita oli välttämätöntä rakentaa uudestaan. Se vaati myös uusia ajatustottumuksia ja sopeutumista kokonaan uuteen maailmaan. Esihistoria tarjosi jotakin pysyvää. Arkeologia oli edennyt 1800-luvun puoli...
