“…The sites discussed in this article form an interesting picture of the Late Iron Age and early medieval connections. Not only the cremations, but also the wooden structures and dugout canoes in the graves, along with the artefacts of the Karelian type, tell a story of a wide net of connections from Karelia all the way to northern Finland, as has been noted before (Kuusela et al 2016;.…”

“…While I believe that the burial of cremated bones may be related to the slow Christianization of these areas, it is still unclear where the burnt bones come from. Apart from the pyre site excavated in Illinsaari, near Suutarinniemi (Kuusela 2016), no other cremation sites are known in the vicinity of these cemeteries. In Karelia, there are plenty of other kinds of burial grounds, mostly cremation cemeteries under level ground (Uino 1997).…”

“…However, there is no evidence for permanent occupation, leading the excavators to suggest that it may have been an early marketplace. Such market places at river mouths regained a much more conspicuous role as central places in the northern Baltic Sea world in the following, late Iron Age and the early medieval period (Kuusela et al 2016(Kuusela et al , 2018Kuusela 2018).…”

“…In addition to the historical sources, he also briefly considered the potentially relevant archaeological material, including some of the then-recently excavated central places on northern river mouths, such as the Iron Age site of Rakanmäki at the mouth of River Tornio, but he admitted that it was scarce and, in some ways, incongruent with the historical snippets of information about Kvenland. The recent discovery of more such sites dating to the late Iron Age and early medieval period has, however, prompted a rather fundamental reassessment of the character of river-mouth sites and how they are linked to the semi-mythical northern realms, on the one hand, and historical realities on the other (Kuusela 2013(Kuusela , 2018Kuusela et al 2016Kuusela et al , 2018.…”

In its analysis of the archaeologies and histories of the northern fringe of Europe, this book provides a focus on animistic-shamanistic cosmologies and the associated humanenvironment relations from the Neolithic to modern times. The North has fascinated Europeans throughout history, as an enchanted world of natural and supernatural marvels: a land of light and dark, of northern lights and the midnight sun, of witches and magic and of riches ranging from amber to oil. Northern lands conflate fantasies and realities. Rich archaeological, historical, ethnographic and folkloric materials combine in this book with cutting-edge theoretical perspectives drawn from relational ontologies and epistemologies, producing a fresh approach to the prehistory and history of a region that is pivotal to understanding Europe-wide processes, such as Neolithization and modernization. This book examines the mythical and actual northern worlds, with northern relational modes of perceiving and engaging with the world on the one hand, and the 'place' of the North in European culture on the other. This book is an indispensable read for scholars of archaeology, anthropology, cultural studies and folklore in northern Europe, as well as researchers interested in how the North is intertwined with developments in the broader European and Eurasian world. It provides a deep-time understanding of globally topical issues and conflicting interests, as expressed by debates and controversies around Arctic resources, nature preservation and indigenous rights.

This article analyses the industrial enterprise of the Dutch-born brothers Abraham and Jakob Momma-Reenstierna and their investments in Sápmi and the upper parts of the Torne River Valley, northern Sweden, during the second half of the seventeenth century. The aim is to explore the driving forces behind the industrial projects of the two brothers in a larger global and colonial context. With inspiration from recent critical studies on the simplifications, and Eurocentrism, in earlier understandings of the birth of modernity, we focus on the modernizing processes taking place in the upper part of the Torne River Valley as a meeting zone between local populations and landscapes and external capital. Metal extraction was booming in the seventeenth-century Sámi areas. Both the Danish-Norwegian and the Swedish Crowns invested heavily in the mining of silver, copper and iron. The scientific focus in archaeology and history has hitherto been very much on the state-governed projects, and limited interest has been directed towards the private enterprises. Moreover, there is also a need to study the roles of the local Finnish and Sámi populations, as well as the global connections, in these colonial industrial projects. ARTICLE HISTORY
