The wetland site of Järvensuo 1 in south-west Finland was a chance discovery during the digging of a ditch in the 1950s. The discovery, in 2020, of a unique wooden snake figurine broadens the understanding of the worldview of northern peoples 4400 years ago.
The first find in the drainage ditch was a wooden paddle, which yielded a radiocarbon date of 3331–2462 BC at 95.4%; placing it in the Neolithic. More prehistoric artefacts, including a wooden scoop with a handle carved to resemble a bear's head, fishing implements and pottery were uncovered in the same ditch in the 1980s. Archaeological inspection, palaeobotanical studies and small-scale excavations followed.
