ABSTRACT The Late Iron Age of northern Finland is often approached through an ethnic perspective. Archaeological sites are defined as local or foreign and, accordingly, linked to either Sámi or non-Sámi groups. In recent decades, the concept of transculturalism and mixing of cultural traits has been discussed by several researchers, and their work has shown that such categorizations can be questioned. Correspondingly, certain sites and artifacts found in the northern parts of Finland seem to relate to interactions and contacts instead of ethnic backgrounds. One such site was excavated at Viinivaara E in 2013 and 2014. Based on the fieldwork, the site can be linked to encounters and cultural exchange between local groups and visitors. The entangled nature of the site is understood by taking into consideration its location and landscape, but also by examining the archaeological and historical conception of Late Iron Age northern Finland in general. Further, transcultural dynamics present at the site are also tied to social development on a broader temporal and spatial scale.

北部“边缘”的晚铁器时代跨文化主义：了解芬兰 Viinivaara E 的长期史前职业区

摘要 芬兰北部的晚铁器时代通常是从种族的角度来看待的。考古遗址被定义为本地的或外国的，因此与萨米族或非萨米族群有关。近几十年来，一些研究人员讨论了跨文化主义和文化特征混合的概念，他们的工作表明，这种分类是可以质疑的。相应地，在芬兰北部发现的某些遗址和文物似乎与互动和接触有关，而不是与种族背景有关。2013 年和 2014 年在 Viinivaara E 发掘了一个这样的遗址。根据实地工作，该遗址可以与当地团体和游客之间的相遇和文化交流联系起来。考虑到它的位置和景观，可以理解该站点的纠缠性质，还通过对芬兰北部铁器时代晚期的考古和历史概念进行总体检查。此外，现场的跨文化动态也与更广泛的时间和空间尺度上的社会发展有关。
