I finished my PhD in historical osteology/bioarchaeology in May 2018 with my thesis "Health cattle and ploughs . Bioarchaeological consequences of the Secondary Products Revolution in southern Sweden, 2300-1100 BCE". In the thesis I examined in what way human diet and health was affected considering an agropastoral intensification in the latest Stone Age and Early Bronze Age.

My research considers different aspects of helath in past populations. I am especially interested in trauma and violence, care, oral health, stature and demography. My current research project aims to understand frequencies and patterns of violence and warfare in south Scandinavian late Middle Neolithic. Currently, I'm also working on a project about health in a Iron Age urban population in Greece.
