My expertise is Iron Age settlements and activity-sites, with particular experience and interest in complex stratigraphy, in addition to interdisciplinary approaches combining archaeometry and scientific approaches to humanities. In recent years, I have worked as a project leader with case management of both financial and research-related issues in archaeological projects.
My research and special interests lies in the Viking Age, in particular metalcrafts and material culture.
