Sacred and Profane Livelihood: Animal Bones from Sieidi Sites in Northern Finland
In this paper, animal offerings at Sámi sacrificial sites, sieidi (SaaN), will be discussed from an archaeological and a zooarchaeological point of view. Offerings are seen as a part of daily subsistence activities where the border between sacred and profane was fuzzy and transient. We take the position that animal offerings cannot be interpreted as ritual actions clearly separated from everyday life, but, rather, we have to take into account tha…
The estimation of body weight of the reindeer ( Rangifer tarandus L.) from skeletal measurements: Preliminary analyses and application to archaeological material from 17th- and 18th-century northern F…
In this study, a variety of postcranial skeletal measurements of reindeer (Rangifer tarandus L.) are used to predict the body mass. Regression equations for estimating the body weight of females as well as correction factors for estimating the weight of males are generated. These are applied to archaeological reindeer bones from 17th- and 18th-century Northern Finland. Predicted weights of archaeological reindeer correspond well with the weight o…
A zooarchaeology of modernizing human–animal relationships in Tornio, northern Finland, 1620–1800
This paper arises from a study of the 17th- and 18th-century zooarchaeological record from Tornio, Finland — at that time the northernmost town in Europe. The proportion of game animals in its 17th-century bone assemblage is extremely high, reflecting the crucial role of hunting and of the wilderness in urban life in northern Finland in this period. A marked decline in species diversity and in the proportion of game animals characterizes later de…
