ABSTRACT Hedmark County is a large inland district in southeast Norway that represents the southern part of the Sámi settlement area, and a Sámi–Norse borderland. Centred on the municipalities Rendalen and Engerdal, the study investigates the long-term cultural and social processes involved in the construction and maintenance of a borderland using theories of ethnicity and cultural tradition. Over time, different groups of people have used the diverse landscapes, and two periods are highlighted: the Late Neolithic and the Bronze Age (2350–500 BC), and the Iron Age and the Middle Ages (500 BC–AD 1500). The focus is on how different groups of people used the landscapes as seen through variation in settlement, subsistence, borders and contact networks with neighbouring and distant regions.

萨米和北欧边境地区不断变化的历史和种族

摘要 Hedmark 县是挪威东南部的一个大型内陆地区，代表萨米人定居区的南部，是萨米-挪威边境地区。该研究以伦达伦市和恩格达尔市为中心，利用种族和文化传统的理论，调查了边境地区建设和维护所涉及的长期文化和社会过程。随着时间的推移，不同的人群使用了不同的景观，突出了两个时期：新石器时代晚期和青铜时代（公元前 2350-500 年），以及铁器时代和中世纪（公元前 500 年-公元 1500 年）。重点是通过聚居地、生计、边界以及与邻近和遥远地区的联系网络的变化，不同人群如何使用景观。
