High-resolution palynology reveals the land use history of a Sami renvall in northern Sweden
The limited availability of historical and archaeological evidence means that much is still unknown about the development of Sami reindeer herding in Fennoscandia in both the recent and more distant past. To address this problem, high-resolution palynological analyses, (14)C and (210)Pb dating were...
