From year 1980 until 2014 I was employed at the Swedish National Heritage Board as archaeologist, scientific coordinator and researcher. 1989-1999 I worked as research fellow and acting professor in medieval archaeology at the institute of archeology, Lund university. Furthermore, I have been employed as adjunct senior lecturer at the University college of Gotland in 2000-2003 and as researcher at the Department of historical studies, University of Gothenburg, in 2011-2014.
