    • 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 

      Damm, Charlotte Brysting; Skandfer, Marianne; Jørgensen, Erlend Kirkeng; Sjøgren, Per Johan E; Vollan, Kenneth Webb Berg; Jordan, Peter (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 ...

    • A Neolithic Corridor between East and West. 

      Damm, Charlotte Brysting; Skandfer, Marianne (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 ...

    • Peopling Prehistoric Coastlines: Identifying Mid-Holocene Forager Settlement Strategies in Northern Norway 

      Damm, Charlotte; Jordan, Peter D.; Skandfer, Marianne (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 

      Hood, Bryan; Ravna, Erling Krog; Dahl, trine merete; Skandfer, Marianne (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 ...

    • Tønsnes havn, Tromsø kommune, Troms : rapport fra arkeologiske utgravninger i 2008 og 2009 

      Skandfer, Marianne; Grydeland, Sven Erik; Henriksen, Siv; Nilsen, Roy Anders; Valen, Christian Roll (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. ...
