The material being found at the dig shows connections to other nearby areas, such as asbestos, a major technical innovation at the time from the inland Saimaa region of Finland,

Anyone told John Edwards yet? He could use a big case.

Thanks ~ 3000 years before the Present Era is 5000 years ago.

This territory was Sa'ami at the time ~ friend of mine once showed me the house her mother grew up in Norway up in the Sapma. She was Sa'ami. I know this design well from that little picture show.

Such places are still being built ~ however, that design has been attributed to later Sa'ami/Indo-European contact.

Looks like they were wrong, and it looks like someone might dig into Norway and Nikel Oblast a tad more than they have been ~ there's STUFF down there under the Taiga.

occupied some 2000 -3000 years before the start of the present era.

What, pray tell began the common era?
