The settlements were located at sea shores or beside lakes and the economy was based on hunting, fishing and the gathering of plants. In [[Finland]], it was a maritime culture which became more and more specialized in hunting seals. The dominant dwelling was probably a [[teepee]] of about 30 square meters where some 15 people could live. Also rectangular houses made of timber become popular in Finland from 4000 BC cal. Graves were dug at the settlements and the dead were covered with [[red ochre]]. The typical Comb Ceramic age shows an extensive use of objects made of [[flint]] and [[amber]] as grave offerings.
