Finnish ethnogenesis and pre- & protohistory?

[The Black Prince]

I know Finland from the geography books and from TV. I think its a beautifull country with its woods and lakes, dark winters, low population density, et such.

However I also like things as anthropology, archaeology and history. For most Nordic countries (using here the geographic term) I have a pretty basical understanding of their ethnogenesis and pre- and protohistory, but I lack this for Finland. Meaning a basic chronology, possible migrations or endogene transformations.

Of course I could check on Wikipedia but perhaps some of the Finnish memers like to enlighten me?..

Thanks in advance.

Hehe.. did some research and found this paper:

C. Carpelan (2006). On Archaeological Aspects of Uralic, Finno-Ugric and Finnic Societies before AD 800. Helsinki

Had a quick read into it and it about covers what I was interested in.

I will get back to you within 24 hrs. as I have to look up a few things. In the meantime I'm sure you'll get some replies from others.

Finnish ethnogenesis is a bit of an unsolved mystery.

Ooops, it seems the whole thing slipped my mind ...
