A new study shows that the ancient cemetery that has been embarrassed by Finnish archaeologists can be one of the largest stone age cemeteries in northern Europe. Located at the edge of the Polar Circle in Tiniaro, this place became the subject of excavations in 1959 and later in the 1980s. Although the artifacts were described, human remains have not been found, calling into question the nature of this place.
Archaeologist Aki Haconen of the University of Oul in Finland led a new analysis that confirms that Tiniaro served as a cemetery with about 200 burial pits, created more than 6500 years ago by communities of stone age. Even without preserved skeletal materials, researchers consider this place an important cemetery.
Archaeologists have compared the shape, size and content of Tiniaro pits with other stone age cemeteries in Finland, confirming its archaeological significance. Many pits are viewed as a grave, and the study will be continued by George and soil analysis to study the place without its violation.
Tainiaro may indicate that the Stone Age Societies in the Arctic region were larger and more complex than it was thought before. The place, refuting previous ideas, may indicate a close relationship between life and death, where nomadic groups may interact with graves in their environment.
