Sammallahdenmäki is a Bronze age burial site in Finland in Lappi municipality. It was designated by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in 1999, and includes 36 granite burial cairns dating back more than 3,000 years, to 1,500 to 500 BC. It is located on a hill in a remote area off the road between Tampere and Rauma. Originally, it was near the coast of the Gulf of Bothnia, but the land has risen so it is now 15 kilometers from the sea. It is one of the most important Bronze Age sites in Fennoscandia. Four of the cairns were excavated by archaeologist Volter Högman in 1891, including ''Kirkonlaattia'' ("Church Floor"), an unusual rectangular cairn covering 16 x 19 metres with a flat top, and ''Huilun pitkä raunio'' ("long ruin of Huilu"), which is surrounded by an ancient stone wall. ==References== *(Sammallahdenmäki ) from UNESCO *(Sammallahdenmäki ) *(Sammallahdenmäki, Lappi ), from the Finnish National Board of Antiquities 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sammallahdenmäki」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
