About

In September 2006 I defended my Ph.D. in Archaeology with the dissertation; Wells of Experience. A pastoral land-use history of Omaheke, Namibia, published in Studies in Global Archaeology 9, African and Comparative Archaeology, Dep. of Archaeology and Ancient history, Uppsala University.

Through my PhD studies I have become familiar with current research on cultural landscapes, environmental change, applied archaeology and historical ecology. In addition to doctoral training courses in archaeology at Uppsala University and l'Université Libre, Bruxelles I have participated in courses and seminars at the previous Department of Rural Development studies, Swedish University of Agricultural Science (SLU) and at the Centre for Environment and Development Studies Doctoral School (CEFO), Uppsala University. My PhD research was carried out as part of the inter-regional research projects Human Responses and Contributions to Environmental Change in Africa (HRAC) and Global Urban Landscape Dynamics (GULD).

My approach to archaeology takes a long-term perspective on remains derived from the knowledge and practice of specific social groups in interaction with their environment. My current research focus on cultural practices and natural resource management in the forested region of northern Sweden. Landscape archaeology and GIS are additional research interests.
