This article briefly presents the finds and investigations of the Riivasen site. Salvage excavations in 1994-1998 produced a large corpus of dwelling-site finds. This material includes some 30 potsherds belonging to a singly markedly profiled vessel decorated with herringbone designs. The ceramic material is regarded to be East Swedish Pitted Ware, the Riivasen fmd being the third of its kind on the Finnish mainland. In the Aland Islands, Pitted Ware appears to have been common during the Late Stone Age. The predominant types of pottery at Riivasen are Late Comb Ware (Style ill) and Pyheensilta Ware. The composition of the finds is briefly discussed.!
