Abstract

ABSTRACT During the course of the 14th century the Swedish Crown and the Catholic Church made robust attempts to include the areas beside the Bothnian bay within their central fiscal and clerical organization. Salmon fishing in the productive river rapids became major targets for external commercial interests. Written records inform us about the situation from the perspective of the exploiters. However, there is a story running in parallel – that of the local population already occupying the lands and the fishing grounds. The study aims to analyse the significance of hunting and fishing to the overall subsistence of coastal communities in northern Sweden during the period AD 500–1600. The social context is of particular interest, specifically in relation to the successive conformation by the local communities to the Swedish fiscal system. The study draws on archaeological records and on historical records from the 14th to the 17th century, in addition to ethnographic accounts for hunting and fishing. We conclude that the legal cultures embraced by the indigenous population and that of the Swedish central powers were in essence incompatible. The acquisition of land and fishing rights was never settled between two equal parties, but one-sidedly enforced by the party holding the pen.
森林和水域的猎人:晚期铁器时代和瑞典北部沿海的中世纪生存和社会进程
在14世纪的过程中,瑞典王室和天主教会做出了强有力的尝试,将波西尼亚湾附近的地区纳入其中央财政和宗教组织。在高产的河流急流中捕捞鲑鱼成为外部商业利益的主要目标。文字记录从剥削者的角度告诉我们当时的情况。然而,与此同时还有一个故事——当地居民已经占领了这些土地和渔场。该研究旨在分析公元500-1600年期间瑞典北部沿海社区的狩猎和捕鱼对整体生存的意义。社会背景特别令人感兴趣,特别是与当地社区对瑞典财政体系的连续服从有关。这项研究利用了14世纪到17世纪的考古记录和历史记录,以及关于狩猎和捕鱼的民族志记录。我们的结论是,土著居民所接受的法律文化与瑞典中央权力的法律文化在本质上是不相容的。土地和捕鱼权的取得从未在两个平等的当事方之间解决,而是由握笔的一方单方面执行。
