<p>This study presents an analysis of radiocarbon (14C) samples to date the Middle Neolithic Pyheensilta group and the subsequent Late Neolithic Kiukainen culture on the coastlines of present-day Finland. The Pyheensilta group is dated to approximately 3200–2650 BCE, while the Kiukainen culture is dated to around 2500–1750 BCE. The chronological data indicate that these Neolithic cultures were not contemporaneous; instead, the Kiukainen culture emerged after the Pyheensilta group had disappeared. Notably, the two groups are dated 150 years apart, suggesting a period of cultural change. This study provides insight into the temporal dynamics and cultural succession in Neolithic Finland.</p>
