Trade, tribute and household responses
During the Late Middle Ages the combined pressures from the stately tributary organizations of Novgorod and Norway, in cooperation with the capitalist organization of the German Hansa, seem to have driven the hunting population of Varanger in East Finnmark to exploit the wild reindeer resource heavily. The article deals with how a Saami household who lived in a turf house on a peninsula in the present municipality of Nesseby (Unjárgd) dealt with …

Saamis (Lapps), Finns and Scandinavians in history and prehistory. Ethnic origins and ethnic processes in Fenno‐Scandinavia
This Article is a condensation of K. Odner's book Finner og terfinner (Oslo Occasional Papers in Social Anthropology No. 9 1983) ‘Finner’ is an old Norwegian term for Saamis, and must not be confused with the term ‘Finn’ meaning Finnlanders. In his book the author puts forward a number of hypotheses about the origins and maintenance of ethnic groups and categories in Northern Fenno‐Scandinavia: Saami ethnicity grew out of a process of differentia…

Reflection or autonomy. Thoughts on European cultural development
This article discusses the development of European civilization in the light of theories of autonomous processes, or of reflections from the great civilizations of the Mediterranean or Near East claiming that the trend in recent research has been to emphasize internal factors as causal. Although these—in the author's view—are very important, he nevertheless feels that European civilization would not have been possible without the impact from the …

Economic structures in Western Norway in the early iron age
In this issue of Norwegian Archaeological Review the book Økonomiske strukturer på Vestlandet i eldre jernalder (Economic structures in Western Norway in the Early Iron Age) by Knut Odner (1973 a) has been chosen as subject for discussion. The book is the second part of a major work on the settlement in a rock shelter called Ullshelleren in a Norwegian mountain valley; the first part of the publication (Odner 1969) has previously been reviewed an…

Excavations at Narosura, a Stone Bowl Site in the Southern Kenya Highlands
The article describes an excavation carried out at Narosura in Narok District, Kenya. The site is located about 2000 metres above sea level in semi-arid country. The people living around Narosura today are Masai, predominantly pastoral, but also practising some irrigation agriculture. The precise extent of the prehistoric habitation area cannot be given, but it is estimated to be about 8400 square metres. Twenty-one square metres were excavated d…
Usangi Hospital and other Archaeological Sites in the North Pare Mountains, North-eastern Tanzania
The North Pare Hills of north-eastern Tanzania are relatively rich in Iron Age archaeological sites which show relationships to those previously described from the South Pare Hills. The site at Usangi Hospital provides interesting evidence of the contemporary use in the second half of the first millennium A.D. of two different pottery types, Kwale ware and Maore ware, which occur separately in the South Pares. Surface collections from other sites…
A Preliminary Report on an Archaeological Survey on the Slopes of Kilimanjaro
This article describes briefly the results of a preliminary survey of the southern and north-western slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro and provides a list of the sites discovered. Early Iron Age Kwale pottery is present on both sides of the mountain and on the southern side appears to be associated with Maore ware as in the North Pare Hills. Other pottery-types testify to later occupation of the southern area prior to the emergence of the Chagga people…
An Archaeological Survey of Iramba, Tanzania
A brief survey of Iramba Area in north-central Tanzania has provided valuable information concerning the archaeology of an area of which little was previously known, apart from its rock-paintings. A number of Stone Age sites are reported, as well as Iron Age sites with cord-impressed pottery which may be related to cord-rouletted wares from further to the north and north-west. New rock-painting sites are described and illustrated and the rock-art…

Vivik near Lake Holmevatn on Haukelifjell
After agreement with Magister Knut Odner, his article was chosen as a subject for review and discussion in the first number of Norwegian Archaeological Review. Offprints of the article were sent to 12 Scandinavian specialists who have worked on problems in Stone Age chronology similar to those discussed by Odner here, and they were invited to participate in the review. We received a positive answer from 5 archaeologists, Egil Bakka, C. J. Becker,…
