7-8. Stone-Age dwelling sites on Lammassaari Island in Imatra
Dwelling site no. 1 on Lammassaari Island was probably inhabited during the Typical Combed Ware period some 5900 - 5400 years ago (3900 - 3400 B.C.). Pieces of pottery have been found at the site. Sharp stone chips, created when stone objects are being made, have been found at dwelling site no. 2 on Lammassaari Island.

The Lammassaari dwelling sites are located at the mouth of the Vuoksi Channel. The massive Saimaa waters broke open a new outlet channel, the Vuoksi of Imatra, about 6000 years ago. Lammassaari dwelling site no. 2 was probably in use when the Vuoksi Channel burst open, and dwelling site no. 1 probably after the Imatra Vuoksi outlet channel had opened, because it is located slightly below the Saimaa's highest flood crest.

Driving directions: Take Lammassaarentie road towards the Imatra Spa but drive past the spa toward Lammassaari. Site 7 and a sign appear on the left after the dike path as you approach the island. From there it is about 600 metres by foot to site 8. Cars or a bus can park along the road.
