Caring for the dead? An alternative perspective on Sámi reburial
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-04-29)This article is an effort to critically discuss Sámi repatriation and reburial practice based on the analysis of five repatriation cases. Since the seminal repatriation (and burial) of the skulls of Somby and Hætta in Gávvuonna/Kåfjord in 1997, and the more recent reburial of 94 skeletons in Njauddâm/Neiden in 2011, a precedent seems established in Norway that allows the unconditional reburial of ... -
Climatic changes cause synchronous population dynamics and adaptive strategies among coastal hunter-gatherers in Holocene northern Europe
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-03-16)Synchronized demographic and behavioral patterns among distinct populations is a well-known, natural phenomenon. Intriguingly, similar patterns of synchrony occur among prehistoric human populations. However, the drivers of synchronous human ecodynamics are not well understood. Addressing this issue, we review the role of environmental variability in causing human demographic and adaptive responses. ... -

Constructive forgetting and reconciliatory memory in nineteenth-century historical fiction A comparative perspective on Scandinavianism, pan-Germanism and Greater Netherlandism
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023-06-30)This chapter studies how far the reconciliation of a troublesome shared past through historical fiction can be considered a general characteristic of pan-national movements in nineteenth-century Europe. A cross-case analysis shows that this praxis was most widespread and most intricately developed in Scandinavianism, while it to a lesser degree also left its mark on pan-Germanism as expressed through ... -
Contrasting patterns of prehistoric human diet and subsistence in northernmost Europe
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-01-18)Current archaeological evidence indicates the transition from hunting-fishing-gathering to agriculture in Northern Europe was a gradual process. This transition was especially complex in the prehistoric North Fennoscandian landscape where the high latitude posed a challenge to both domestic animal breeding and cereal cultivation. The conditions varied, the coastal dwellers had access to rich marine ... -
Convergent catastrophes and the termination of the Arctic Norwegian Stone Age: A multi-proxy assessment of the demographic and adaptive responses of mid-Holocene collectors to biophysical forcing
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-07-31)Using multiple archeological and paleoenvironmental proxies, this paper makes the case for a climate-induced convergent catastrophe among the human population of terminal Stone Age Arctic Norway. We show that climatic changes correlate with the termination of the so-called Gressbakken phase (4200–3500 cal BP), and unpack the middle-range mechanisms linking the Gressbakken termination to contemporaneous ... -

Dangerous Food. Climate change induced elevated heavy metal levels in Younger Stone Age seafood in northern Norway.
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-01-28)Stable isotope and elemental analyses of the Atlantic cod (<i>Gadus morhua</i>) and harp seal (<i>Phoca groenlandica</i>) bone component of the marine food that dominated the Younger Stone Age (c. 6.1–3.5 ka BP) diet in Varanger, Arctic northern Norway, indicate, at times, climate change induced highly elevated levels of the heavy metals cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb), and elevated levels of mercury ... -
The de-dramatization of history and the prose of bourgeois life
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-02-20)Emperor and Galilean has received renewed interest the last decade. It has been revalued and upgraded, it has been attributed a major role in the development of Ibsen’s authorship, and it has been interpreted as an expression of the new uncertainties of modernity. The play definitely deviates from Ibsen’s earlier historical dramas; it does not hold up an exemplary past or try to emulate a ... -

Depictions of Laestadianism 1850-1950
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-05-23)The issue to be discussed here is how society’s views of the Laestadian revival has changed over the course of the revival movement’s first 100 years. The article claims that society’s emerging view of the revival is characterized by two different positions. The first period is typical of the last part of the nineteenth century and is characterized by the fact that the evaluation of the revival took ... -

Most of them had relocated to Russia as a result of the withdrawal of Russian troops from Germany after 1990. Analysing individual data from the 2002 and 2010 censuses, the author traces the lives of children born into the families of Soviet military men based in East Germany after World War II. Over ... -
"Det moderne gjennombrotet" i lærarskulen. Ibsen-lesing hjå Tromsø-seminaristar
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-06-10)I motsetning til den utbreidde oppfatninga om at «det moderne gjennombrotet» i den skandinaviske litteraturen møtte motstand og fiendskap, syner opplagstal at Henrik Ibsens <i>Et dukkehjem</i> (1879), eit av dei sentrale gjennombrotsverka, blei hans største salssuksess, og at boka nådde nye grupper av lesarar. Eit rikt materiale frå lærarutdanninga i Tromsø gjer det mogleg å følgje Ibsen-lesinga der ... -

(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023)This article examines the efforts of Norway’s council of the realm to rescind the governing offices and trading rights of Hamburg merchants in the Faroes between the mid-1520s and mid-1530s. The limited body of prior research on the subject focuses on the commercial aims of opposing parties, treating their dispute as part of the long-standing conflict over the western Norwegian town of Bergen’s ... -
Dorset, Norse, or Thule? Technological transfers, marine mammal contamination, and AMS dating of spun yarn and textiles from the Eastern Canadian Arctic
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-07-14)Yarn and textiles recovered from prehistoric Dorset and Thule culture sites in the Eastern Canadian Arctic have raised questions about the extent and timing of indigenous and Norse interaction in the New World, whether the yarn represents technological transfers between Greenland's Norse settlers and the Dorset, or whether these Indigenous Arctic groups had independent fiber technologies before ... -
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 ... -
