Description
Summary:In this chapter, we introduce different ways of studying reindeer mobility in Sápmi. Through the application of landscape-level Geographical Information Systems (GIS), geochemical soil, and stable isotope analysis, we aim to present different interdisciplinary methods used in archaeology to trace human–reindeer relationships. To do this, we have exemplified the methods with different case studies, and when no case study is available, we refer to previous or ongoing research. We show that these methods are effective tools for studying reindeer migration.
