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 ... -
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 ... -
From entities to interaction. Replacing pots and people with networks of transmission
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2012)The understanding of the relationship between language, ethnic groups, and material culture in prehistory is still very limited, even within highly competent academic communities. To researchers without archaeological training it may be easy to make a direct association between archaeological cultures, distribution of signifi cant artefact types, and ethnic groups, especially as such explicit links ... -
Holocene vegetation change in northernmost Fennoscandia and the impact on prehistoric foragers 12 000–2000 cal. a BP – A review
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-09-14)While single pollen records are widely used in reconstructing the environment for nearby prehistoric settlements, they are less helpful when addressing large‐scale issues of variation in human settlement patterns. In order to assess the impact of vegetation change on regional prehistoric settlement and subsistence patterns in an ecotone sensitive area, we inferred the general change in main vegetation ... -
Interaction Within and Between Collectives: Networking in Northern Fennoscandia
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2012)The project Early Networking in Northern Fennoscandia is concerned with investigating interaction at the regional and interregional levels. Through a number of separate case studies we look into the substance of the interaction, evaluate its extent and diversity, background and organization, and its wider effects. In my case study I approach interregional interaction by looking at networks and ... -
Introduction
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2012)This volume is a collection of articles based on papers that were presented at the conference Networks, Interaction and Emerging Identities in Fennoscandia and Beyond, 13–16 October 2009. The conference was held at the University of Tromsø in Norway, and hosted by its Department of Archaeology and Social Anthropology at the Faculty of Humanities, Social Sciences and Education. The University of ... -
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 ... -

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, ...
