Abstract

This paper deals with social and cultural developments in North Ostrobotnia during the 4th and 3rd millennia BC. It links a series of features, both previously known and newly observed, that have been hitherto studied and considered separately. Here they are regarded not only as being contemporaneous and related to each other, but also as an integral part of a trend of increasing social complexity that took place in North Ostrobotnia in the 4th and 3rd millennia BC (cal). The effect of these developments to North Ostrobotnian landscapes is also discussed.
