Sameleiren i Tromsdalen var lenge det mest besøkte turistmålet i Tromsø. Betydningen Tromsdalen og andre sameleire fikk som fotomotiv og møteplass i siste del av 1800-tallet, og hvordan dette skulle bidra til å bygge opp om interessen for reindriftssamenes levesett, er mindre kjent. Et resultat av den økte interessen var at sameleire ble gjenskapt i kommersiell og folkeopplysende øyemed, både nasjonalt ...

The research “sandpit”, where a cross-disciplinary group of academics and practitioners come together for a short time to create new projects around a given theme, is gaining ground as a way to foster innovation and creativity in research design. While sandpits can spark ideas for novel projects better suited to tackling grand challenges and urgent questions, research from Kate Maxwell, Paul Benneworth, ...

This paper presents a research project on bear-human relationships, focusing on the Sámi bear grave rituals and burial customs in Norway. The background to this project is a study of 30 bear burial sites, of which several were archaeologically recorded. Based on this information, a typical feature of these sites are burials in natural rock cavities, caves and in screes and under large boulders. In ...

<i>Introduction</i>: In my investigation (Storm 1990) of the markebygd of Rásmirvuovdi/Gressmyrskogen on the island of Sážžá/Senja in the province of Romssa/Troms, I have reconstructed the settlement process from 1700 to 1900 AD. The focus was on the practice of Sámi resource exploitation – which resources and resource areas were used, and how the land was exploited – and what kind of Sámi settlements ...

Background: Some grass species are richer in coumarin and thus more sweetly scented than others. These have been eagerly sought after in parts of Norway, but the tradition has been weakly documented, both in terms of the species collected, their vernacular names, and uses. <p>Methods: Based on literature data and a substantial body of information collected during my own ethnobotanical field work, ...

This is the third annual report of the SEAPOP programme, which was initiated in 2005. In 2007, the work continued at full scale in the Lofoten-Barents Sea area, and similar studies were initiated in the southern part of the Norwegian Sea. The report is divided into three sections. The first is an executive summary, the second presents five selected highlights from the studies in 2007, whereas the ...

This is the second annual report of the SEAPOP programme, which was initiated in 2005. In 2006, the programme was extended to the near full scale in the Lofoten-Barents Sea area, but it is aimed for implementation at the national level within few years. The report is divided into three sections. The first is an executive summary, the second presents five selected highlights from the studies in ...

Sedimentary ancient DNA (sedaDNA) is continuing to revolutionise our understanding of past biological and geological processes by retrieving and analysing the ancient DNA preserved in lake, cave, open terrestrial, midden, permafrozen, and marine environments (Crump, 2021). The study of sedaDNA began in the late 1990s (Coolen and Overmann, 1998) with the first reports of extinct animal sedaDNA in ...

Denne studien har hatt som mål å undersøke hvordan elever og lærere ved musikklinjer opplever arbeid med økt selvverd i samspillfaget, og hvordan undervisningen kan legges til rette for å underbygge dette. Studiens teorigrunnlag bygger på to tradisjoner innen forskning på selvoppfatning: forventningstradisjonen og selvvurderingstradisjonen. Her vil teorier av Albert Bandura, Morris Rosenberg og ...
