Abstract
In 2018, 2019 and 2021, archaeological fieldwork and oral history collection was organised in Varjakka, Oulunsalo, where a sawmill operated between 1900 and 1929. Eleven barge wrecks and several timber structures related to timber rafting were found on the sea bottom. Stone-filled log foundations and piles remain from the massive piers on the shores of Varjakansaari. In this article we look at the Varjakka area as an industrial seascape, where the water does not separate the main- land from the island but is a natural continuation of these historic industrial sites. This submerged part is often forgotten when studying industrial heritage sites. We use the results of underwater map- ping and the collected oral histories to study the significance of industrial seascapes.
