• W2145179004 abstract "This paper discusses deliberate deposits made in buildings of the historic period in Finland. The research material mainly emphasises folklore (517 cases) while the archaeological/ethnological material is more modest ( 44 cases). Comparisons are made with recent results from southern Scandinavia. The problems discussed in research regarding building deposits often deal with how to distinguish a deliberate deposit from a dropped object and what terminology is appropriate when describing deposits or their interpretation. Scholars have reached different conclusions or compromise solutions. Still, every potential deliberate deposit must be carefully interpreted. There has also been much discussion of the terms ritual, offering and sacrifice in relation to deposits. It has even been suggested that such terms should be abandoned altogether. There is n consensus on the issue. Finnish folklore collected during the 19th and early 20th centuries indicates that the objects preferred for deposition at the time were coins, mercury and horse skulls. Coins and mercury were often placed in or under a threshold or in the corner of the building. Horse skulls were most frequently placed in a hearth or oven structure. Of the buildings mentioned in connection with deposits, dwellings and barns are most common. Compared to southern Scandinavia, there are some interesting differences and similarities in the Finnish material. The choice of object to deposit seems to have been formalised up until modern times in both regions. The hearth/oven was a preferred context during the whole period in Finland while in southern Scandinavia it was rare. So even though horse skulls have been deposited in both regions, their contexts vary: in Finland they were often under the hearth/oven, while in Southern Scandinavia they were put under the floor. When interpreting deposits it is fruitful to know the meanings ascribed to the custom in modern times. Still it is important not to become fixed in these interpretations as meanings change over time. In Finnish folklore, many meanings have to do with luck and protective magic, protecting the building from malicious intent and witchcraft. However, similar deposits made in a neighbor's building were themselves driven by malicious intent. The deposited objects and contexts of choice were no different in malicious deposits than in luck-bringing ones. The horse skulls are most often described as keeping vermin from the building, and no acoustic explanations are given in Finland in contrast to southern Scandinavia and England. The building deposits may be given various interpretations. Finnish scholars have called for relational thinking in interpreting folk beliefs. Such thinking suggests that things do not have fixed properties or any inner essence, and causation is not limited to simple mechanistic cause-and-effect operations. How the world is perceived to work is based on context. This call for relationality is linked to the discussion about the (mis)use of the terms ritual and magic. This discussion is relevant to the study of building deposits deserved more detailed consideration." @default.
