But this is quite false, for Waggons and Carts were utterly unknown to the _Laplanders_, for whom it was impossible to use them, by reason of the slipperiness of the Ice, and depth of their snows. Neither was it indeed in that sense that _Zieglerus_ calls them _Amaxiobios_, but because they wandred up and down like the _Amaxobii_, who are a known Nation of the _Scythians_. There remains therefore only these two sorts of sheds, which I have mentioned, for the 5^{th}, which _Paulus Jovius_ reckons, was either upon sudden occasions, or used only by those that were under the dominion of the _Moscovites_: the words of this Author are, “These People lie in caves filled with dried leaves, or in trunks of trees made hollow either by fire or age.” But in both our forementioned sorts, things are so ordered that every Tent had two doors, one, a foredoor, and the other, a backward; the former bigger and more ordinarily used, the latter less, through which they use to bring in their provisions, and especially the prey they took in hunting, also Birds, Beasts, Fishes, which it was unlawfull for to bring in at the foredoor. These are the two doors with the use of both, especially the back-door, through which it was unlawfull for any woman to pass, because, as I said before, women were forbidden to go into the back part of the Tent, the reason of which I think to be partly this, because in that part they placed _Thor_ and sacrificed to him, and partly this, because it was esteemed an ill omen for a hunter to meet a woman. And hither may we refer what _Zieglerus_ saies of that door, that it was unlawfull for the Woman to go out of the door of the Tent that day her husband was gone a hunting, which cannot be understood of any door but the back-door, the use of which was not only that day but alwaies forbid women. The _Laplanders_ have no Chambers, but only certain spaces, which they determine and bound by loggs and posts laid along on the ground, of which we shall next speak. The whole space of ground within the Tent was so ordered, that in the middle there might be a hearth, surrounded with stones, in which there was a continual fire, except at midnight; behind the hearth, toward the back part of the tent, they place three loggs, with which they bound that space, of which we but now spoke. In the middle of this space is the little door, at which only men must enter, which they call _Posse_; right over against that is the common door, which they call _Ox_; but that space we told you was bounded with these three loggs, they call, _lops_; this place therefore is only proper to men, and it is unlawfull for any woman to pass those loggs, and go into it. _Sam. Rheen_ saies about the kettle hanging over the fire, they place the 3 blocks, upon which, with a hatchet, they divide their flesh, fish, or other things they intend to make ready. He saies here indeed the space is called _Posse_, but understands chiefly the space of the door, for that was properly called
