This chapter provides an introduction to the book, which in part is a product of the LARM project (Landscape and Resource Management in Interior Arctic Norway 2500 BC–AD 1000). We situate the study in the northern Fennoscandian Sápmi region by considering what constitutes & 'inland' areas and by providing an overview of northern Norwegian culture-history. The central archaeological problems investigated by the project are presented and we discuss our approach to landscape and resource management. The structure of the book is outlined.
