About
The Ekeberga Burial Site in Siuntio, Finland, is a significant archaeological site dating back to the Roman Iron Age. The site features a stone burial mound measuring 18 x 13 meters, constructed during the younger Roman Iron Age, between the 2nd and 5th centuries CE. Located on a hill, the landscape around the mound remains largely unchanged since its original construction. The site's proximity to the former coastline, altered by post-glacial rebound, provides insight into ancient environmental conditions. Archaeological excavations have uncovered artifacts such as burned bones, bronze and iron objects, and glass pearls, offering a glimpse into the burial practices and material culture of the period. Protected by law, this site is part of Finland's nationally significant archaeological heritage.
