Description


Wolf Cave

Wolf Cave (Finnish: Susiluola, Swedish: Varggrottan) is a crack in the Pyhävuori Mountain (Swedish: Bötombergen) in Kristiinankaupunki, near the Karijoki municipality in Finland. The upper part of the crack has been packed with soil, forming a cave. In 1996, some objects were found in the cave that brought about speculations that it could have been inhabited in the Paleolithic, between 120,000 and 130,000 years ago. These objects, if authentic, would be the only known Neanderthal artifacts in the Nordic countries.
