In Finland, archaeologists have discovered what may be a cemetery dating back to the Stone Age. However, the 6,500-year-old gravesite does not contain any evidence of human remains. The cemetery was located just 50 miles south

Just south of the Arctic Circle, within the vast forests of northern Finland, lies a sandy field dotted with dozens of “unusual” pits.

The site in Finland was rediscovered in 1959, and has been established as being a cemetery despite no bodies being found there

A mysterious ancient graveyard that has flummoxed Finnish archaeologists for decades could be one of the largest Stone Age cemeteries in northern Europe, a new study suggests.

In Finland, hundreds of possible graves have been found in a Stone Age cemetery in the Arctic Circle - but not one of them contains a body.

A study into a cemetery located at Tainiaro in Finland has revealed about forty graves across one-tenth of the site’s total area, meaning possibly there are more than 200 graves carrying 300 people buried in them.
