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]
