Archaeologists have found a mysterious prehistoric site, believed to be a 6,500-year-old Stone Age cemetery, at a seemingly improbable location near the Arctic Circle.
Archaeologists have theorized that this site could potentially be among the largest Stone Age graveyards in Northern Europe yet, Knewz.com has learned.
The prehistoric site is known as Tainiaro, located about 50 miles south of the Arctic Circle in the Finnish region of Lapland.
While the notion that the Tainiaro site is a Stone Age cemetery is still just a hypothesis, it could significantly change the notions regarding the history of Northern Europe if it is proven.
Furthermore, the proof would make Tainiaro the northernmost Stone Age graveyard in the world.
The team of archaeologists working on the site has published its findings and theories in the Cambridge University Press archaeological journal
Antiquity in the paper entitled "A large fifth-millennium BC cemetery in the subarctic north of the Baltic Sea."
