Person

I am professor of Historical Archaeology. Today, my research is mainly focusing on the intersection of Sámi archaeology and global historical archaeology by the study of Sámi settlements in southern Scandinavia from the mediaeval to the modern period. I also work on matters related to ecological and social sustainability in and around Sápmi during the early modern period. Among my recent books are TheScandinavian Early Modern World: A Global Historical Archaeology (2020),and Mellan medeltid och modernitet. En introduktion till historisk arkeologi från senmedeltid till idag (2021).

I received my Ph.D. in archaeology at Stockholm University in 2005, became docent in historical archaeology at Lund University in 2013, and full professor in 2025. I have a long experience from both contract archaeology and the cultural heritage managementsector from the National heritage board and the Swedish National Museum of Antiquities.
