Mysteries of the Leväluhta

Saturday, October 12 @ 9:30am to 12:00pm

In October, FGG member Barb Wilson will present on “Leväluhta, Finland’s Mysterious Burial Site.” This Iron Age site is not just unique in Finland; it also appears to be unique in the world. Although the burials were discovered centuries ago, modern science is now solving some of the site’s mysteries. Leväluhta bones have provided the oldest DNA available in Finland.
