From the early modern period there are diverse written sources addressing Sámi habitation in southern Scandinavia, and from the 18th century we know of the so-called sockenlappsystemet, an ethnically based, indenture service employing Sámi people. To what degree these early modern Sámi kept, and developed traditional practices, has until recently been largely unknown. Through a combination of sources and methods, from archival... (More)

Through a combination of sources and methods, from archival studies to field surveys, and excavations, this paper proposes that a strong and continuous development of Sámi traditions and practices, though the use of landscape and material culture is visible well into the end of the 19th century.
