  • A Post-Caledonian Dolerite Dyke from Magerøy, North Norway: Age and Geochemistry
    A post-Caledonian dolerite dyke from Magerøy, North Norway: age and geochemistry DAVID ROBERTS, JOHN G. MITCHELL & TORGEIR B. ANDERSEN Roberts. D., Mitchell, J. G. & Andersen, T. B.: A post-Caledonian dolerite dyke from Magerøy, North Norway: age and geochemistry. Norsk Geologisk Tidsskrift, Vol. 71, pp. 28�294. Oslo 1991 . ISSN 0029-196X. A post-Caledonian, NW-SE trending, dolerite dyke on Magerøy has a geochemicalsignature comparable to that of continental tholeiites. Clinopyroxenes from three samples of the dolerite gave K-Ar ages of ca. 312, ca. 302 and ca. 266 Ma, suggesting a Perrno-Carboniferous age. In view of low K20 contents of the pyroxenes and the possible presence of excess argon, it is argued that the most reliable estimate of the emplacement age of the dyke is provided by the unweighted mean value, namely 293 ± 22 Ma. This Late Carboniferous age coincides with the later stages of a major phase of rifting and crustal extension in adjacent offshore areas. The dyke is emplaced along a NW-SE trending fault. Parallel or subparallel faults on Magerøy and in other parts of northem Finnmark may thus carry a component of Carboniferous crustal extension in their polyphase movement histories.

  • Debate Concerning the Early Transport Infrastructure in the Sámi Area of Finnish Lapland
    DEBATE CONCERNING THE EARLY TRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURE IN TEH SÁMI AREA OF FINNISH LAPLAND RITVA KYLLI AND JUHA SAUNAVAARA | Pages 85– 105 85 Debate concerning the early transport infrastructure in the Sámi area of Finnish Lapland RITVA KYLLI, University lecturer, History, Culture and Communication Studies, Faculty of Humanities, University of Oulu, Finland Corresponding author: email: [email protected] JUHA SAUNAVAARA, Assistant Professor, Arctic Research Center, Hokkaido University, Japan, ABSTRACT Tis article examines early Arctic transport infrastructure, especially roads, in the Sámi area of Finnish Lapland during the interwar period. Te modernisation process accelerated the utilisation of northern natural resources, and the frst roads in northernmost Finland also facilitated mining industry and logging sites. In the research concentrating on infrastructure, indigenous peoples have ofen been depic- ted one-dimensionally as victims and forces resisting development. While this study introduces the views of various stakeholders, it also emphasises the importance of understanding indigenous peoples as active agents, some of whom actively lobbied for plans to build roads. While the Sámi resistance to roads referred to, for example, their ability to damage and erode the traditional way of Sámi community life, the supporters underlined the economic possibilities and other benefts to be gained from the improved connectivity. Even though the vocabulary of the 1920s and 1930s difers from today’s language use, many of the ideas which have been discussed more recently – such as remoteness as a potential asset and the value of being disconnected – were already present in the debates of the beginning of the twentieth century.

    SABIMA kartleggingsnotat 20-2017 Statusrapport for artsregistrering av virvelløse dyr, sopp og karplanter 2017 Øygarden, Hordaland, Kautokeino, Porsanger og Nordkapp, Finnmark Av Sissel og Nigel Goodgame Blektuppet småkøllesopp Clavulinopsis laeticolor Kartleggingsnotat 20, 2017 – Artskartlegging i Hordaland og Finnmark 2017 1 av 23 Sammendrag Emneord: Kartlegging, sopp, insekter, planter; Hordaland, Finnmark Årets artsregistreringer har i hovedsak konsentrert seg om områder i Porsanger, Kautokeino og Nordkapp, hvor vi har forsøkt å finne så mange arter som mulig i ved tre forskjellige anledninger. Vi har brukt mye tid til feltobservasjoner av planter, sopp og innsekter i flere områder i Goarahat og Sandvikhalvøya, i tillegg noen registreringer i forbindelse med et TOV-E prosjekt for fugletelling på Finnmarksvidda og i Nordkapp kommune på en dagstur. Resultatet for feltobservasjonene ble 194 totalt arter registrert, med 85 nye arter registrert for Goarahat og Sandvikhalvøya, 16 nye arter for Porsanger og 4 første og 2 andre for Finnmark. Disse tallene er basert på data registrert Artsobservasjoner. I tillegg registrerte vi 21 arter i Kautokeino kommune og 33 arter i Nordkapp kommune. Vi gjorde en liten innsats med lysfelle i Øygarden noen få netter i 2017, men det var lite oppholdsvær og vanskelige forhold å jobbe under. I tillegg var vi i Finnmark store deler av sesongen. Personer involvert Bidragsytere til årets artsregistreringer har også i år vært Sissel og Nigel Goodgame, med god hjelp fra vår kollega Jeff Blincow fra England, som har bidratt med sin ekspertise og hjulpet til med artsbestemmelse og fotografier.

  • Grensehandel I Sameland
    Prosjektnotat nr. 4-2003 Runar Døving Grensehandel i sameland Prosjektnotat nr.4-2003 Tittel Antall sider Dato Grensehandel i sameland 40 12.05.2003 Forfatter(e) Prosjektnummer Faglig ansvarlig sign. Runar Døving 11-2002-10 Oppdragsgiver Norges Forskningsråd Sammendrag Grensen mellom Norge og Finland går rett igjennom sameland. For samene er det derfor ingen grense. Når nordmenn krysser grensen drar de fra et eget norsk land til et svensk eller finsk land, med andre kulturer. For samer vaier det samme flagget, og grensen blir da bare en praktisk barriere, eller steder med billigere og andre varer eller tjenester. Kunnskapene om kvoter er minimal. Og man oppfatter ikke det man sørpå kaller smugling på samme måte. Den etniske og praktiske historiske erfaring gjør samenes forhold til grensehandelen meget avslappet. Moralske argumenter om at grensehandel er harry, eller at man bør støtte den norske stat er helt irrelevante problemstillinger i sameland. Heller ikke den strøm av ordet ”billig” hører man i Finnmark. Det kan synes som om både samer og finnmarkinger generelt har et mer avslappet og bevisst forhold til matens lave andel av husholdningsbudsjettet. Der nordmenn ser grensehandel som en politisk handling, er finsk sameland bare et sted der det selges billigere tobakk, øl eller kjøtt. Og det er ingen moralsk forskjell å dra til Lakselv for å handle møbler, enn det er til Karigasniemi for å handle tobakk. Finnmarkinger har en helt annet forhold til avstander enn man har sørpå. Man reiser mye og langt og veiene er gode. Man reiser gjerne gjennom Finland for å komme til andre steder i Norge.

En stor andel av kvinnene jobber heltid, fordi de både kan og vil. hvorfor lykkes Finnmark? Arbeidsgiverne på sin side tilbyr heltidsstillinger fordi de trenger arbeidskraften.
