ABSTRACT Mortuary practices evident in the materiality of Central Fennoscandia in Northern Europe are interpreted here rather unconventionally as expressions of morality. This is defined as the culturally approved way to manage death, without scruples. The last seven millennia are set on a flat temporal scale in this paper, revealing contradictions between different ideologies and worldviews over that time. The ubiquitous themes that emerge are agency of place and the bond between fire, life, and death, along with the main criticism, which asserts that the overwhelming fear of the dead reported in the region during 2nd millennium may have been aggravated by Christian dogma. Thus, projecting similar notions of fear to local prehistoric burials is problematic and should be made with caution. The study acts as a reminder that archaeological interpretation is drawn from theory – the interpretational key – which affects both the hypotheses and the results. Changing the key may turn even an established interpretation on its head.

与死亡共存：对太平间实践的道德考量揭示了芬诺斯坎迪亚中部千年历史中世界观的多元化

摘要 在北欧中部芬诺斯坎迪亚的物质性中显而易见的太平间做法在这里被非常规地解释为道德的表达。这被定义为文化上认可的处理死亡的方式，没有任何顾虑。在这篇论文中，过去七千年是在一个平坦的时间尺度上设定的，揭示了那个时期不同意识形态和世界观之间的矛盾。出现的无处不在的主题是地点的代理和火、生与死之间的联系，以及主要的批评，它声称该地区在第二个千年期间报道的对死者的压倒性恐惧可能已被基督教教条所加剧。因此，将类似的恐惧概念投射到当地的史前墓葬是有问题的，应该谨慎行事。该研究提醒人们，考古解释是从理论中得出的——解释的关键——它会影响假设和结果。改变钥匙甚至可能改变既定的解释。
