| Summary: | Time-management on Svalbard / Spitsbergen. A historical-archaeological perspective on 18th-century Pomor hunters. Past peoples living in the Arctic had to deal with seasonal extremes. They needed to plan ahead and make vitally important choices concerning where to live, what and when to hunt, and what to store for later use. This kind of planning and time-management was vital for hunter-gatherers living across the Arctic. But for those Russian hunters from the White Sea area (Pomors) who went to Svalbard on hunting expeditions, extra complexity was added to this schedule: extraction of commercial trade goods. They had to manage a balance between subsistence needs and the commercial hunting schedule. |
