Toppolanmäki is an Iron Age cemetery and prominent archaeological site in Valkeakoski, Finland. It was first discovered in 1930s, when gravel was being taken from the area and at least ten burials were destroyed in the process. Since then, the site has been excavated in 1936, 1937, 1951, 2017 and 2018, revealing burials of 15 individuals. Based on the finds and radiocarbon datings, the cemetery was used in the Crusade Period (1050–1150). According to pollen and spore analysis, mosses were used as linings in coffins and grave pits at the site. The juniper remains found from the graves may suggest that the Early Medieval landscape around Toppolanmäki was more open than today and consisted of grassy meadows and juniper bushes.
