Strange, Dozens of Mysterious Graves Found 6,500 Years Old But Without Skeletons

The archaeologists discovered a mysterious prehistoric site called Tainiaro, believed to be a burial ground from the Stone Age that is 6,500 years old, located approximately 80 kilometers south of the Arctic Circle in the Lapland region, Finland.

Although there is no concrete evidence to verify that Tainiaro is a Stone Age cemetery, but if it can be confirmed, it could significantly change the understanding of Northern European history. If confirmed, Tainiaro will become the northernmost burial site in the world.

"Various Artifacts Found."

A number of excavations at this site were carried out in the 1980s, resulting in the discovery of thousands of artifacts, including pottery, stone tools, and animal bone remains. In 1959, local workers found stone tools in Simo, which is located near the northern edge of the Baltic Sea, only about 80 kilometers south of the Arctic Circle.

Archaeologists have also managed to find 127 holes of various sizes that have been filled with sediment deposits. Some of the holes show signs of burning, while others contain traces of red ochre. Red ochre is a natural iron pigment that plays an important role in some Stone Age burials. However, due to the lack of skeletal evidence, which tends to deteriorate in the acidic soil in this region, the identification of Tainiaro as a burial site has never been confirmed.

Initially, archaeologists were unsure whether the holes functioned as graves, burning sites, or a combination of both.

The team examines the contents and sizes of the holes and compares them with hundreds of Stone Age graves in 14 other graves to determine their nature. Therefore, the archaeologists discovered that at least 44 of the holes could be used as human burial sites.

"There is no Frame in the Grave."

In-depth analysis of the shape of the holes, which have rectangular shape with curved edges, the presence of red ochre traces, and the existence of certain artifacts, proves that those holes are actually graves. The study notes that, although no skeletal remains can be found in the area, Tainiaro should be recognized as a burial site.

Aki Hakonen, the archaeologist leading the team, explained that based on the shape of the burial pits at other sites, it is likely that the bodies in Tainiaro were buried in a tilted or supine position, with the knees bent. Hakonen also mentioned that there is a possibility of feathers being present and the bodies being wrapped in sealskin.

In addition, Hakonen highlights the possibility of a mixture of red ochre and burial artifacts into the filling soil or graves. Only a small number of areas in Tainiaro have been uncovered, indicating that the actual number of graves may exceed 200.
