Research
My primary research interest within archaeology is the Iron Age and Early Medieval period in Northern Europe, with a special focus on decorated metalwork, glass beads, places of trade and production, and the relationship between place names and archaeological monuments in the cultural landscape.
My first research area is decorated metalwork from the Viking period. In my doctoral thesis, I investigated trefoil brooches from Scandinavia with regard to their typology, dating, decoration, function, and production. In a later work, I have examined the cultural contacts between Scandinavia and the Continent in the Viking Age, as they are evident on high status metalwork by processes of adaption and reception.
My second research area is about sites of trade and production, exchange, and access to resources in the first millennium AD in Scandinavia. I have investigated this topic from various angles, studying metal detector finds from a production site affiliated with an Iron Age manor at Missingen, Østfold, investigating the maritime place name *Sæheimr in Scandinavia as a possible indicator of Iron Age landing sites, exploring the maritime-economic network between Viking Age central farms around the Trondheimsfjorden, analyzing the landscape of communication around the Urnes stave church, and discussing long-distance trade in the early Viking Age between Ribe and Northern Norway based on eight-century glass beads.
My current research project for my sabbatical in the academic year 2023/2024 is about glass beads of the Viking Age.
Besides, I have a third, small field of research, which is about metal detector finds and cultural heritage management.
