      abstract = {Reindeer have been an integral part of the lives of people  in Northern Fennoscandia in prehistoric and historic times.  Today, reindeer herding practices are changing fast due to  climate change, land use pressures and new technologies.  This book outlines recent advances in the archaeology of  reindeer domestication and development of reindeer herding  among the Sami of Northern Fennoscandia, focusing  especially on the identification and understanding of  various reindeer herding tasks and practices through  archaeological evidence and traditional knowledge of  reindeer herders. Covering more than a thousand years of  history of reindeer herding, the book explores how reindeer  herding practices have always been dynamic and adapted to  the changing social, economic and environmental pressures.  While reindeer herding practices have changed, they have  also retained memory and tradition. The continuity and  adaptation of reindeer herding testifies of the resilience  of reindeer herders and their animals, and the importance  of their relationship in the changing Arctic. This book  will be of interest to scholars interested in archaeology,  anthropology, and history of the Arctic, as well as local  communities and reindeer herders. Anna-Kaisa Salmi is an  Associate Professor in Archaeology at the University of  Oulu. Her research focusses on northern human-animal  relationships and the archaeology of reindeer  domestication. She is the Editor-in-Chief of the Monographs  of the Archaeological Society of Finland and co-editor of  Archaeologies of Animal Movement Animals on the Move (2021)  and The Sound of Silence Indigenous Perspectives on the  Historical Archaeology of Colonialism (2019).},
