| Summary: | Abstract Plague in the high fjelds? : Dating of the Sámi reindeer herding sites at Enontekiö Yliperä This paper presents new radiocarbon dates from the high fell region of Enontekiö Yliperä in the transnational Sápmi, the homeland of Europe’s only indigenous people Sámi. 50 new dating samples were collected from archaeological sites related to the development of reindeer domestication and herding. Based on the radiocarbon ages, it appears that small-scale reindeer herding in a hunterherder society commenced in this area by the turn of the 10th–11th century AD, and developed into mobile nomadic pastoralism by the 15th–16th century AD. There is a notable gap in the local radiocarbon chronology in the 14th century, analogous that of the neighboring inner Troms in Norway. This hiatus mirrors ostensibly the tipping point between a hunter-herder society and a mobile pastoralist adaptation and is simultaneous with widescale socioeconomic and environmental fluctuations. These include for example the cooling of environment during the Little Ice Age, and the Black Death pandemic in the mid-1300s. Čoahkkáigeassu Rohttu badjosiin?
