“…One example of maritime cultural landscape research is the Our Maritime Heritage project at the University of Helsinki (2002Helsinki ( -2005 during which circa 450 new sites from the Late Iron Age and Early Middle Ages were found and documented in the coastal areas of Uusimaa in southern Finland (Jansson 2005). Another example is the Settlements and Economies Around the Sea-Maritime Settlement, Subsistence and Economic Histories Around the Baltic Sea 500-1700 AD project which ran at the University of Helsinki between 2009 and 2012 (e.g., Haggrén and Lavento 2011;Alenius et al 2014).

This article provides an account of the history, present state, and possible future directions of Finnish maritime archaeology in order to elucidate certain aspects characteristic of the field. In the Finnish context, academia and the heritage sector are historically interconnected, and professionals have successfully assumed responsibilities in both. Research opportunities, however, have been more numerous at the Finnish Heritage Agency (FHA) than in academia, whereas the focus has been on well-preserved wrecks mainly from seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. This can be explained by the great number of registered shipwrecks from the historical periods being managed by the FHA. Well-preserved shipwrecks are also central for hobby divers’ interest that has been historically paramount for the development of the field. At the same time, discontinuities in academic training of maritime archaeologists have created a situation where opportunities for long-term and in-depth research at universities have been few. Future prospects of Finnish maritime archaeology are discussed with respect to the current state, and the interconnectedness of the heritage management sector, academically trained maritime archaeologists, and avocational diving societies and volunteers is emphasised as a key element in continued development.
