Description
Summary:Source at http://www.sarks.fi/masf/masf_10/masf_10.html . The discovery of an amber bead and an unusual type of slate knife at a site near Tromsø, Norway instigated reflection upon inter-regional mobility and possible travel routes in northern Fennoscandia. In combination with finds near Kilpisjärvi, Finland, these early Neolithic objects found far from their main distribution area allow us to suggest that the Torne River and its connected waterways provided a corridor for contact between the Atlantic coast and the Bothnian coast.
