Abstract

In this chapter, we introduce different ways of studying reindeer mobility in Sápmi. Through the application of landscape-level Geographical Information Systems (GIS), geochemical soil, and stable isotope analysis, we aim to present different interdisciplinary methods used in archaeology to trace human–reindeer relationships. To do this, we have exemplified the methods with different case studies, and when no case study is available, we refer to previous or ongoing research. We show that these methods are effective tools for studying reindeer migration.

Tiivistelmä

Luvussa käsitellään saamelaisten poronhoitajien liikkuvuuden arkeologisia tutkimusmenetelmiä. Esittelemme paikkatietojärjestelmien (Geographical Information Systems, GIS), maaperän geokemiallisten analyysien sekä stabiili-isotooppianalyysien mahdollisuuksia ihmisen ja poron välisten suhteiden tutkimuksessa. Näitä mahdollisuuksia havainnollistetaan tapaustutkimusten sekä käynnissä olevien ja jo julkaistujen tutkimusten avulla. Osoitamme, että kaikki nämä menetelmät soveltuvat hyvin porojen liikkuvuuden tutkimisen.
