    Research interests

    Circumpolar archaeology: northern Fennoscandia, Kola Peninsula; formerly, Labrador-Eastern Arctic, Greenland

    Hunter-gatherer social complexity (particularly the period ca. 2000 BC in Finnmark and on the Kola Peninsula)

    Reindeer hunting to herding transitions; organization and management of hunting landscapes (hunting-pit systems and Commons management)

    Lithic raw material sources and use in Finnmark's Stone Age

    Knowledge construction in archaeology: theory, research history; cognitive science perspectives 

    Methods: varying degrees of engagement with geoarchaeology, paleoclimate, shellfish analysis, radiocarbon dating

    Teaching

    As a new professor emeritus I no longer have teaching. However, previously I taught a range of courses, primarily: Introduction to Archaeology, Archaeology eks.Fak. (philosophy of science/knowledge construction in archaeology), method course, history of archaeology/theory, circumpolar archaeology, north Fennoscandian Stone Age,  global themes (i.e. human evolution, early agriculture, state societies, colonialism and world-systems), and hunter-gatherers.

    I also advised several hovedfag/masters students and some PhD students.
