Loitsana is a lake in Savukoski, Finland. The lake is fed by groundwater inflow from the closest esker and from a small stream from northwest. It drains into Soklioja rivulet, which is part of the Nuortti river drainage basin. [1]
Loitsana was developed from the Sokli ice lake, which deglaciated sometime prior to 10 700 cal. a BP. [2] There are multiple Stone Age dwelling sites along its coast. Among these is the Malmio 1 site, which has been dated to approximately 8070 BC, making it the second oldest known archaeological site in Lapland. [3]
