Global salmonid distribution and the study region. (A) Map illustrating the global distribution of salmonids. Note the wide-spread availability of salmonids in high, low, and sub Arctic regions. (B) Map of Finland marking the locations of the Yli-Ii Kierikinkangas site (1) and the Iijoki River (2), where much archaeological research has focused on searching for indicators of salmonid utilization. Three archaeological sites found to contain burned Atlantic salmonid bone represent half of the examples for the entire archaeology of Finland (3, 4, 5). Other sites mentioned in the text are marked as well (6, 7).
