Biography
I am an archaeologist with a particular interest in wetlands. My main research interests concern Nordic Mesolithic and Neolithic wetland sites and their organic assets, as well as the preservation and future survival of sites, through the development and use of innovative, interdisciplinary methods and multi-proxy approaches, and how this knowledge can be used to contribute to current debates in archaeological perspectives and theory, as well as heritage management.
