Abstract

In this chapter, we discuss the Sámi habitation site types connected with reindeer domestication and pastoralism, and their chronologies and spatial distributions. The changes in the archaeological site and feature types mirror the development of livelihoods over time, from hunter-herder society, with some domesticated animals and more tethered annual mobilities, to long-range nomadic reindeer pastoralism. The intra-site and inter-site spatialities also reflect the changes in the Sámi subsistence economy and land-use patterns, related to wider developments in the socioeconomic networks and broad-scale environmental changes.

Tiivistelmä

Tämä luku käsittelee poron domestikaatioon ja poronhoidon kehittymiseen liittyviä saamelaisten asuinpaikkoja, etenkin niiden kronologiaa ja alueellista jakautumista. Arkeologisten kohdetyyppien muutokset ajassa heijastelevat elinkeinoissa tapahtuneita muutoksia siirryttäessä metsästyksestä ja keräilystä sekä pienimuotoisesta, liikkuvuudeltaan rajautuneesta, poronhoidosta täysmittaiseen poropaimentolaisuuteen. Tilankäyttö sekä asuinpaikoilla että niiden välillä heijastelee saamelaisten elinkeinojen ja maankäytön muutoksia, jotka liittyivät laajempiin yhteiskunnallisiin, taloudellisiin ja ympäristöllisiin muutoksiin.
