The Appreciation of Reindeer: Rock Carvings and Sami Reindeer Knowledge
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2021-04)On the Stone Age rock carving panels at Jiepmaluokta, Alta, Norway, more than one third of all the known figures, over one thousand, are classified as reindeer. A recent comparative study of Fennoscandian rock carvings suggests that variation in amounts of different animals depicted at each site refers to differences in relations between people and the specific local environment, including local ... -
Bácheveaij/Pasvikdalens eldre historie belyst ved pollenanalyser og arkeologisk materiale
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012)Denne artikkelen oppsummerer resultatene av et samarbeidsprosjekt der arkeologisk materiale fra tre lokaliteter i Báhceveaj/Pasvikdalen i Øst-Finnmark er sammenholdt med nye pollenanalyser fra myrer ved de samme lokalitetene (figur 1). Det har ikke vært vanlig å inkludere botaniske analyser i arkeologiske undersøkelser i Nord-Norge, selv om det nå finnes stadig flere eksempler på at det gjøres. ... -
Cut above the Rest: a Multi-disciplinary Study of Two Slate Knives from Forager Contexts in Coastal Norway.
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2023-04-05)Slate was a prominent tool material in the Scandinavian Stone Age.However, details of tool function have relied on morphology and have added littleto our understanding of their role in hunting and processing. Here, wedemonstrate that it is possible to identify both the use-wear traces and residuesfrom slate knives from northern Norway. By applying a multi-disciplinaryapproach incorporating ... -

Hunting for Hide. Investigating an Other-Than-Food Relationship Between Stone Age Hunters and Wild Animals in Northern Europe
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-11-18)In archaeological hunter-gatherer research, animals are primarily seen as food. Alternatively, they are proposed to serve as symbols and devices for social structuring of human societies. A growing body of literature in humanities and social sciences now looks into the role of animals as social and sentient co-beings. It is becoming increasingly clear that the roles of animals as other-than-food ... -

Investigating long-term human ecodynamics in the European Arctic: Towards an integrated multi-scalar analysis of early and mid Holocene cultural, environmental and palaeodemographic sequences in Finnmark County, Northern Norway
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-02-26)Most parts of the Circumpolar Arctic have only discontinuous evidence for long-term human settlement. In contrast, Northern Norway has an unbroken archaeological record that extends back to the early Holocene. Numerous high-resolution archaeological and palaeoenvironmental records have been generated by commercial excavations and surveys, offering archaeologists unique opportunities to investigate ... -
Markus Fjellström Food Cultures in Sápmi: An interdisciplinary approach to the study of the heterogeneous cultural landscape of northern Fennoscandia AD 600–1900
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-12-09)Markus Fjellström has presented a substantial doctoral work in scientific archaeology, comprising six articles and an 80-page synthesis. The papers were published between 2015 and 2021. For the first time on such a large and systematic scale, these papers and thesis bring together specialists in Sámi and scientific/laborative archaeology to address the early history of the Sámi. The papers are ... -
A Neolithic Corridor between East and West.
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2022)The discovery of an amber bead and an unusual type of slate knife at a site near Tromsø, Norway instigated reflection upon inter-regional mobility and possible travel routes in northern Fennoscandia. In combination with finds near Kilpisjärvi, Finland, these early Neolithic objects found far from their main distribution area allow us to suggest that the Torne River and its connected waterways provided ... -
Nordlendingen tar de geologiske ressursene i bruk: et arkeologisk perspektiv
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2022-10)Mennesker har til alle tider nyttiggjort seg stein og mineraler. Fra steinalderen dominerer funn fra boplasser, men mye er også løsfunn av kjent opprinnelser. Vi vet lite om hvor steinråstoffet i Nordland ble hentet fra i steinalderen. Funn fra jernalder og middelalder stammer hovedsakelig fra boplasser og graver. Fra disse periodene har vi også kjennskap til lokale produksjonsplasser og steinbrudd. ... -
Peopling Prehistoric Coastlines: Identifying Mid-Holocene Forager Settlement Strategies in Northern Norway
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-12-08)In circumpolar regions, coastlines offer rich constellations of diverse resources and have long been a focus of human habitation. Despite the rich archaeological records that are located along many northern coastlines, there is a relatively limited understanding of the range of factors that informed local settlement strategies. Northern Norway has one of the world’s longest and best-preserved ... -
Preliminary geochemical analysis of asbestos minerals from geological and archaeological contexts in Finnmark, north Norway Evaluating the potential for sourcing tempers in asbestos ceramics
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2022)This is a preliminary study of the potential for sourcing asbestos minerals used as temper in ceramics from Early Metal Age sites in Finnmark, northern Norway. Energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS/EDX) is used to analyze samples from geological sources and archaeological sites. Although tempers were highly portable, the results of the analysis mostly indicate local procurement, however non-local ... -
Source-sink dynamics drove punctuated adoption of early pottery in Arctic Europe under diverging socioecological conditions
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-11-25)What drives the adoption of pottery amongst prehistoric foragers in high-latitude environments? Following the long-running interests of archaeology in explaining the origin and dispersal of new technologies, recent years have seen growing efforts to understand what drove the emergence and expansion of early hunter-gatherer pottery use across northern Eurasia. However, many regional dimensions to ... -
Stone Age dwellings, sites and environment in coastal northern Norway: surveys and documentation of house-pit sites
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021)The northernmost parts of Europe has a large number of sites with Stone Age house-pits, the majority of which date from c. 5000 BC onwards. Remarkably, the remains of these dwellings are many places still visible on the surface. In northern Norway, such dwellings concentrate in the coastal areas, with a more limited number found on inland sites. In order to use these in analyses of settlement duration, ... -
Tidlig, nordlig kamkeramikk. Typologi, kronologi, kultur
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2003-09-19)Arkeologiske typologier er alltid basert på bare en del av et større materiale. I vår søken etter distinkte egenskaper trekkes det unike eller sjeldne gjerne fram som det spesielle som kjennetegner en ”type”. I avhandlingen analyseres den faktiske variasjonen innenfor Tidlig nordlig kamkeramikk (TNKK) opp mot den etablerte morfologiske forståelsen av den såkalte Säräisniemi 1-keramikken (Sär 1). ... -
Tønsnes havn, Tromsø kommune, Troms : rapport fra arkeologiske utgravninger i 2008 og 2009
(Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2010)Utgravningene av totalt elleve lokaliteter på Skarpeneset i 2008, med et begrenset tillegg i 2009, avdekket overraskende fire store, rektangulære tufter, mer eller mindre nedgravde i bakken, på to av lokalitetene. Tuftene er datert samlet til 7000 – 6500/6400 f.Kr. Det foreslås at de er rester etter hus med parvis skråstilte, takbærende stolper, uten markerte ildsteder og med minst to åpninger/innganger. ...
