Vare is a student organization for archaeology students and all interested in the subject at the University of Turku. It functions both as a bridge between the students and archaeology hobbyists as well as a guardian of the students\u2019 interests in the Department of Archaeology, TYY (Turku University Student Union), and the University.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vare<\/em> is an old word from Finland Proper for a pre-historic burial site, a stoned mound. While the beginnings of the association were founded in 1962, the students involved had to study in Helsinki because Archaeology as a discipline didn’t come to Turku until 1969. During the following decade Vare took more the form of an actual subject association rather than the club it had earlier been. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
