This article presents the Raisio project of the Department of Archaeology of the School of Cultural Reseach at the University of Turku. The excavations of the project revealed an unusual find of eastern provenance, a kisten ball from a strap flail or lash. The use and distribution of this weapon type in Northern Europe is discussed. The find also serves to demonstrate the so-called Middle Europe as a transitional zone between the eastern and western cultural spheres, and some problems of the formation of cultural boundaries and intermediate zones lying between them.Tutvustatakse Turu Ülikooli arheoloogia õppetooli Raisio projekti, mille raames toimunud väljakaevamistel avastati ebaharilik idapoolse päritoluga leid -piitsnuia munak. Arutletakse selle relvatüübi kasutuse ja leviku üle Põhja-Euroopas.
