Kierikki, Archaeological site in Yli-Ii, Finland.
The Kierikki Stone Age Centre contains hundreds of Neolithic dwellings and presents exhibitions about life in northern Finland 6000 years ago.
Excavations that began in 1960 revealed that Stone Age inhabitants maintained permanent villages near the Ii River instead of following nomadic patterns.
The center preserves Kierikki ceramics from 3500-3100 BC and maintains collections of flint arrowheads from Russia and amber ornaments from Baltic regions.
The center provides hands-on activities including stone grinding, primitive archery, and canoeing experiences to demonstrate ancient survival techniques.
Archaeological investigations in 2007 uncovered preserved birch bark chewing gum, providing direct evidence of daily life from the Neolithic period.
