Our year spend on researching archaeology of reindeer domestication has been productive. Despite the difficult global situation, we have been able to enjoy many many successes and lovely events this year. This🧵celebrates some of them. 1/6 #highlight2021 #tutkimus
We published a paper on aDNA analysis. The beginning of reindeer offering tradition at Sámi offering places was linked to wild reindeer hunt. The genetic lineages common in today’s domesticated reindeer first appeared some 500 years ago. #highlight2021 2/6 oulu.fi/university/new…
We won the @PenttiKaitera award and were super proud to be awarded for distinguished scientific work done for the benefit of Northern Finland. Plus, we got to have a photoshoot and pose like a cool heavy metal band 🤘 #highlight2021 3/6 penttikaitera.fi/palkinnonsaaja…
Our paper on the identification of working reindeer from Sámi sites in Northern Finland was published. We found that draught reindeer were used at least 700 years ago as a part of a mixed subsistence of hunting and small-scale herding #highlight2021 4/6 oulu.fi/en/news/archae…
We hosted the ICAZ AGPM conference in September. Although the event was organized online, we got to enjoy many interesting talks and engage in inspiring conversations in a friendly atmosphere #icazagpmoulu #highlight2021 5/6
