Combining Proto-Scandinavian loanword strata in South Saami with the early Iron Age archaeological material of Central Sweden
In this article, I will examine South Saami prehistory from the perspectives of archaeology and historical lexicology. I will present a theoretical model that can be applied to a multidisciplinary research that uses methodologies from both the sciences and test it using South Saami material. My ling...
