A civil case is being tried in central Sweden today, centring on disputed reindeer grazing rights between Saamis with rights to use land since time immemorial and Swedish landowners. Expert reports from both sides utilise statements by historians and archaeologists, who are called on to interpret the 'Swedish' or 'Saami' nature of prehistoric and medieval settlement The paper shows how the 'old school' of scholars consistently minimise past Saami presence and depict Saami culture as 'stagnant' while the 'new school' accepts the implications of medieval texts that Saamis formerly occupied territories much further south than they presently do, that the hunting-gathering tradition that still existed in central Sweden in the Middle Ages was most probably Saami, and that their adoption of Nordic words and material culture for their own use is testimony of a long process of the extention of Swedish/agricultural impact on an alien culture
