Саами Кольского уезда в XVI-XVIII вв. were not just groups o f close relatives, but a minimal social-economic elements, that could be temporary. Personal composition o f the vezha, dwelling site did not form according to the patrilineal principal. It included family units created by representatives o f different patrilines. In most siida vezha was not a stable social element. As a result o f the tax reform o f 1678/79 vezha was set equal to the Russian dvor (house with household) and became subject to taxation. This led to further decrease of importance of the vezha collective body. Thus we see that the model o f the social structure was created, and the goal set before the research was reached. Such factors as stability of the vezha composition and the size o f the family unit together can be inter­ preted as indirect evidence o f economic specialization. This analytical method in combination with the dynamics research o f the population size made it possible to make hypothesis about social transformations of the Sami society during the time in question. The construction of such hypothesis is evident of that our model can answer the questions outside of the basic empiric material. It points to the multipurpose quality o f the methods used. 261
