Person

I am Senior Lecturer in archaeology, educated at the Mid Sweden University in Östersund and Lund University. In 2009 I defended my Ph.D. thesis in archaeology at Lund University entitled Ritualization, Hybridization, Fragmentation. The Mutability of Roman Vessels in Germania Magna AD 1-400.

My research centers on the Iron Age and Viking Age in Europe and Scandinavia, with a particular focus on graves and mortuary practices, as well as cross-cultural interaction. My broader interest in cultural contacts in past societies has also informed research on the interactions between Indigenous populations and European colonists in 17th-century North America. Additionally, I conduct research on digital methods in archaeological research and teaching, as well as how archaeology and archaeologists are portrayed in popular culture.

I teach classes in archaeological theory and method, European and Scandinavian Stone Age, Bronze Age and Iron Age, as well as in Viking Age Scandinavia.
