Downscaling Cosmological Landscapes: from Early to Mid-Holocene Rock Art in Northern Norway
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2021)The rock art of northern Norway is well-known, not least due to the UNESCO World Heritage sites at Alta dating back to c. 5200 cal BC. It is perhaps less well-known that northern Norway also has earlier rock art dating back to c. 9000 cal BC. While the early phase of rock art is dominated by large, natural sized animals such as elk, reindeer, bear and whale in a naturalistic style, the later period ... -
Fiskesøkker og hverdagens magi i steinalderens kystlandskap
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2024)Kystlandskapet og dets ressurser har gjennom alle tider vært viktige for befolkningen i Nord-Norge. Det gjelder også for fangstfolk i periodene yngre steinalder (ca. 5000–1800 fvt.) og tidlig metalltid (1800–0 fvt.) som primært livnærte seg av fisk, sel og sjøfugl. Derfor er det litt av et paradoks at de avbildninger vi finner for eksempel i bergkunsten i utstrakt grad er av landpattedyr. Hvordan ... -
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 ... -
Mesolithic Pyrotechnology: Practices and Perceptions in Early Holocene Coastal Norway
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-09-01)Substantial pyrotechnological structures and large quantities of charcoal are rarely found on Early Holocene sites in coastal Norway. Nevertheless, information on the use of fire and fuel types is available and presented in this article, a survey of sites dating from 10,000 to 8000 uncal BP. Possible fuel types and preferences are discussed and it is argued that most fires would have been small and ... -
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 ...
