Levänluhta or Leväluhta is a spring and prominent archaeological site in the village of Orismala in Isokyrö [1]. It was used as an Iron Age water graveyard from the 5th to the 8th centuries, containing remains of around 100 individuals [1]. It's one of the oldest known burial sites in Finland with preserved human bones, as the waterlogged environment had contributed to an exceptionally good preservation of the remains [1].
