126: Academia Scientiarum Fennica, 2007. 1st Edition. Text in English. 232 pp. Few scratches on the covers. Includes illustrations and maps. In 1930, fragments of ancient boats were found when a field was cleared on the bank of the River Suojoki in Central Finland. Archaeological excavations were conducted at the site in 1935 and 1952, revealing numerous parts of ancient boats among other finds. The boats were constructed with root bindings using no nails or rivets. Archaeologists returned to the enigmatic Suojoki site in 1989, now better equipped with radiocarbon methods for dating organic material and pollen analyses to reveal ancient cultivation. The objective was to investigate the problems of erämark utilization and the history of the boats. Alongside fieldwork that continued until 1991, datings were carried out on most of the ancient skis found in Central Finland and a pollen analysis project encompassing the whole region of Central Finland was conducted. Very good. Item #6752
