Populærvitenskapelig sammendrag:
This thesis looks at twentieth century single industrial mining towns in (sub-)Arctic regions of Canada, Norway, and Russia as objects of archaeological study. In so doing, it shows how the past of northern settled industrial frontiers from the mid-20th century continues to rematerialize itself in the present but not in even and totalizing ways leading to patchy distributions of material. In exploring this phenomenon, the project looks at five main areas – history of the regions, built environment, vestiges of ancillary industrial operations, mining wastes, and mothballed operations. In so doing, it tackles three major themes – the persistence of a usable but fading past within the present, the tension between useful and non-useful things, and how to conduct an archaeology of non-abandonment and if, in fact, abandonment remains a useful interpretative heuristic within archaeology.
