Analyses of high-resolution pollen data, coprophilous fungal spores, microscopic charcoal and sedimentology, combined with radiocarbon dating, allow the assessment of the impact of Sami and Nordic land use in the region surrounding the winter market town of Lycksele in northern Sweden. Such winter markets were established by the Crown during the seventeenth century AD to control the semi-nomadic movements of the Sami who traded here with Finnish settlers and were also taxed and educated. Little is known about Sami and Nordic co-existence beyond these market places, mainly due to a lack of archaeological evidence relating to Sami activity. Vegetation and land-use changes in the region between ~ AD 250 and 1825 reveal no signal for pre-seventeenth century agricultural activity, but the coprophilous fungal spore records suggest the increased regional presence of grazing herbivores (possibly reindeer) between ~ AD 800 and 1100. Sami activity in the parish of Lycksele has been suggested by rich metal finds dated to ~ AD 1000–1350 and they may have been attracted by an abundance of reindeer.

对高分辨率花粉数据，共生真菌孢子，微观木炭和沉积学的分析，再加上放射性碳测年，可以评估萨米和北欧土地利用对瑞典北部冬季集镇Lycksele周边地区的影响。这类冬季市场是由国王在公元17世纪建立的，目的是控制萨米人的半游牧运动，萨米人在这里与芬兰定居者进行交易，并受到税收和教育。关于这些市场以外的萨米人和北欧人并存的情况鲜为人知，主要是由于缺乏与萨米人活动有关的考古证据。在大约公元250年至1825年之间，该地区的植被和土地利用变化并未显示出17世纪前农业活动的信号，
