Abstract

The context of a rich Early Bronze Age burial found in 1998 at Hangaskangas near the city of Oulu is examined here regarding its structure and wider topographic setting. The burial is seen as a node in a Bronze Age communication and exchange network of Eurasia, in which local and supra-regional ideas about cosmology and worldview are reflected through a slab of golden mica, some water-rounded pebbles as well as its liminal location on an island in a river mouth.
