Naissuguelundid
Naissuguelundid refers to a lesser-known but intriguing concept in the study of ancient burial practices, particularly within certain Finno-Ugric cultures. The term, derived from the Finnish words *naisu* (meaning "woman" or "wife") and *guelu* (a root related to "to bury" or "grave"), suggests a specialized type of burial site or ritual associated with female figures, possibly wives or high-status women. These sites are believed to have been used during the Bronze Age, particularly in regions such as Karelia and parts of modern-day Russia and Finland.
The exact nature of naissuguelundid remains debated among scholars. Some interpretations suggest they were communal burial
The concept gained attention in the early 20th century through the work of Finnish archaeologist and linguist
