- During the early 17th century, Finns migrated within the Swedish kingdom from interior Finland to virgin spruce forest areas in Sweden. There they settled in finnmarker, areas with Finnish-speaking households conducting large-scale swidden cultivation, huuhta in Finnish. Eventually they were called Forest Finns. There farms were centered around a rökstuga, a dwelling-house with a stone-oven without a chimney.Four Forest Finn farms have been excavated. The article discusses how the Finish households were integrated in the local and regional market economy, thus acquiring the same kind of things also used by their Swedish neighbours, including status and prestige objects, e.g. display ceramics and window glass panes. At the same time, they continued to live in their traditional rökstugor, which, owing to different space, light and warmth compared to a Swedish cottage with an open fireplace conditioned other relations between the individuals of the households. The process of change, Swedification, of the Forest Finns was not unilinear. Ethnicity is the social process of meeting between two or more groups of people forming ‘us-and-them’-relations. The early-modern Forst Finns is an example of complex change as concerns materiality involved in ethnicity, in this case triggered by the meeting of ‘the others’ as a result of migration.

- One Medieval farm and one coeval summer farm in the Swedish province of Jämtlandare discussed in the framework of a demographic and economic expansionfrom the regional introduction of agriculture in the early 3rd century until theagrarian crisis in the 14th and 15th centuries. The farm was deserted, while neighbouringfarms specialising in iron production were not. The summer farm, on theother hand, was first used around the time of the crisis.Households in Jämtland had a diversified economy including outland-productionof goods for the European market, for example, squirrel and beaver furs, elkhides and iron bars. This provided flexibility for the households, allowing them tosubsist on barley cropping in a marginal agricultural area, and thus surviving theLate Medieval agrarian crisis. They even increased their outland production ofexport commodities.
