Abstract

An interpretation of Sami Viking Age and Early Medieval (ca. A.D. 900–1350) ‘stallo’ sites based on the analogy between space and text is presented. The interpretation challenges the notion that the sites belonged to Sami hunters who were integrated in the Scandinavian trading system through large‐scale trapping of reindeer. Rather, it is suggested that ‘stallo’ sites form part of a Sami settlement pattern which indicates that reindeer pastoralism was well established by A.D. 900.
