  6. 4. Circling Concepts : A Critical Archaeological Analysis of the Notion of Stone Circles as Sami Offering Sites

    Author : Marte Spangen; Anders Andrén; Bjørnar Olsen; Aleks Pluskowski; Stockholms universitet; []

    Abstract : The thesis discusses a category of cultural heritage that has been labelled "Sami circular offering sites", aiming to establish some basic facts about their origin, distribution and use, as well as their cultural and socio-political context and influence. The stone enclosures in question have been interpreted as Sami offering sites since the mid-19th century, but a discourse analysis of the research history indicates that this may have been based on a scholarly hypothesis rather than ethnographic or archaeological evidence.
