Tiivistelmä

This study discusses possible signs of folk magic unearthed during urban archaeological excavations in Turku, Finland. The finds were selected using ethnological folk magic collections in the National Museum of Finland and Museum Centre Vapriikki as reference material. The study utilizes a modified form of the “archaeology of folk religion” methodology, where the subject matter is approached with the help of reference materials instead of utilizing several types of source material. The source material of this study comprises of 45 catalogue entries of archaeological objects that are housed at the Museum Centre of Turku and the Aboa Vetus & Ars Nova Museum. These objects may be connected to folk magic practices, however, this remains uncertain.
