    Sammanfattning : Market-based instruments have become a widely used approach to motivate landowners to conserve forests instead of clearing them.

    Sammanfattning : In questions concerning ethnicity and cultural identity in prehistory, there is a great divide between the conclusions maintained on a theoretical level of discussion and the interpretations given to material remains, when these theories are practiced on the archaeological material.
