Umeå 2010 1 © Peter Holmblad Illustrations by Peter Holmblad unless otherwise stated Base maps © National Land Survey of Finland. licence No. 051/MML/10 E-thesis: http://umu.diva-portal.org/ Cover: Coastal view in Kvevlax, Ostrobothnia Printed by: VMC KBC house, Umeå university Umeå, Sweden 2010 ISBN: 978-91-7459-068-5 ISSN: 0281-5877 2 Preface Several persons and organisations have contributed to my thesis project. First of all I want to thank my supervisor Karin Viklund and my second supervisor Mika Lavento (at Helsinki university). I also want to thank my collegues at my department. Philip Buckland made the paperback of this thesis; Johan Linderholm guided me through my soil chemical analyses, Jan-Erik Wallin performed the pollen anlayses; just to mention a few examples. I have had many interesting discussions with Radoslaw Grabowski. Thomas Larsson has contributed with valuable comments. Hazel Moesly has reviewed my English texts. I send my gratitude to all the amateur archaeologists in Österbottniska fornforskningssällskapet and in Laihian kotiseutuyhdistys that have supported my project by assisting me in the field. Pentti Risla and Kaisa Lehtonen have been two valuable collegues in Ostrobothnia. Ronny Smeds and Johan Björtin helped me with my mapping projects. Furthermore; this thesis had not been written without the important fieldwork that had been conducted over many years in Laihia by Esko Luoma and Mirja Miettinen. I have been financially supported by Svensk-Österbottniska Samfundet, Siri och Olof Granlunds stiftelse, Svenska kulturfonden i Finland, Etelä-Pohjanmaan maakuntarahasto and Kempes minnes stipendiefond. And finally I wish to send may gratitude to my parents and my brother, whom I have sadly neglected lately due to this thesis project; and to my dear Sandra, who has endured my absence during my late night shifts at the university, during my field expeditions, and also the partial transformation of our home into a second work office. 3 4 Table of contents 1.

Introduction 1.1. Background and the aims of the thesis In the summer of 2002 I visited the Alatalo cairn cemetery in Laihia for the first time. Until then I had only read about the site, for instance in a text published by Mirja Miettinen (Miettinen 1998). I was instantly impressed by the relatively large cemetery consisting of several very densely arranged cairns, of which many were quite large. I also noticed that the site was perfectly situated for an agrarian subsistence economy as the site was located on a low promontory where the ground was composed of silty moraine. There was also an adjacent clayey valley. I made a test with my soil drill and I noticed that there was a thick and a well articulated cultural layer at the site and that the soil was saturated with clay daub. If I had not known my location, I would have guessed that I was observing a schoolbook example of a wealthy Migration Period farm site with a farm cemetery. The structure of the large cairns (with central boulders) and the cemetery, the obvious settlement remains in the cemetery context and the topographical location of the site all seemed very Migration Period to me (as this is the typical structure and topographical location of Migration Period farms, cairn cemeteries and cairn constructions in the Vaasa area). Still, the razors that had been found in the cairns in the 19th century clearly indicated a Late Bronze Age date for the site. The altitude indicated also clearly a Bronze Age date for the site. My next thought was that this site definitely needs to be investigated.

    Onnistuva Suomi tehdään lähellä Finlands framgång skapas lokalt Local government tax revenues in Finland Tallinn 13.11.2018 Henrik Rainio, Director, Municipal Finances The Association of Finnish Local and Regional Authorities Municipalities in Finland • The responsibility of municipalities for social services, healthcare, educational and cultural services, public infrastructure as well as the organisation of other welfare services is extremely significant by international and also European standards. • Local government accounts for two-thirds of public consumption in Finland. • The ratio of the total expenditure of local government to GDP has been about 20% in recent years. • Local government employs about one fifth of the total Finnish labour force. • Municipalities have the right to tax the earned income of their inhabitants (municipal income taxation) and municipalities are paid tax on the basis of the value of real property (tax on real property). Municipalities are also entitled to a share of corporate income tax. 2 Onnistuva Suomi tehdään lähellä Finlands framgång skapas lokalt 14.11.2018 Total municipal sector expenditure and income for 2017 Salaries and Social welfare Tax revenues 51 % wages 36 % and health care 22,6 billion € 15,9 billion € 48 % 21,1 billion € Income tax 43 % Corporate tax 4 % Social security funds Real estate tax 4 % and pensions 10 % Purchase of goods 8 % Education and State grants 19 % Purcahse of Culture 31 % 8,5 billion € services 22 % 13,6 billion € Sales of goods and Subsidies 5 % services 21 % Loan costs 5 % Other 15 % 9,2 billion € Investments 11 % 6,6 billion € Borrowing 5 %, 2,4 mrd. € Financing 6 %, 2,7 billion € Other 3 % Other revenues 4 %, 1,8 mrd.

  • Hamnarna I Österbotten Och Deras Specialisering Pohjanmaan Satamien Erikoistuminen
    Activity 3.5 (Port Study, Part I) Hamnarna i Österbotten och deras specialisering Pohjanmaan satamien erikoistuminen www.midnordictc.net SAMMANDRAG Sjötransporterna och hamnarna är av stor betydelse för Österbotten. Det fi nns fyra djuphamnar i Österbotten, de ligger i Jakobstad, Vasa, Kaskö och Kristinestad. Samarbetet mellan hamnarna i Österbotten och deras specialisering borde utvecklas liksom förbindelserna till och från hamnarna både till sjöss och på land. Det primära målet borde vara att de varor som produceras i Österbotten och de varor som importeras hit trans- porteras via de egna hamnarna. Det huvudsakliga målet med detta arbete var att utreda nuläget för de fyra djuphamnarna i Österbotten och deras specialiserings- och samarbetsmöjligheter. Utredningen genomfördes utgående från skriftligt material och fl era intervjuer. I samband med arbetet analyserades också sex olika sce- narion med hjälp av Frisbee-godstrafi kmodellen. De österbottniska hamnarnas ställning är baserad på geografi ska faktorer samt på att de svarar på olika ak- törers behov på ett bra sätt. Samtliga fyra hamnar är redan för närvarande mer eller mindre specialiserade och tillsammans kan de betjäna olika industrisektorer på bred basis. Även samarbetet med Sverige spelar en central roll för utvecklingen av hamnarnas verksamhet. Både i Finland och i Sverige upplevs det som viktigt att utveckla förbindelsen Vasa–Umeå. Tillväxtpotential för Kaskö hamn fi nns enligt godstrafi kmodellen bland an- nat i linjetrafi kens återkomst. Samarbetet mellan hamnarna i Österbotten och på östkusten i Sverige utvecklas också inom ramen för transportkorridorprojekten i öst-västlig riktning (NECL, NLC). Kaskö hamns viktigaste kund är den lokala skogsindustrin. Hamnens styrka är den fungerande hamninfra- strukturen, som lämpar sig väl för hanteringen av skogsindustrins bulkvaror samt ger möjlighet att hantera även andra produkter i fortsättningen.
