Biography
Charlotte Hedenstierna-Jonson is an associate professor and senior researcher in archaeology at Uppsala University and the Swedish History Museum. With a long-time engagement in the archaeology and research of the Viking town Birka, she has investigated the material remains of martial society and explored issues of warfare, identity, mobility, and material culture in the Viking World. Her research has often adopted an interdisciplinary approach, combining archaeological material and methods with genetics and isotope studies.
Irene García Losquiño is a María Zambrano Research Fellow at the University of Santiago de Compostela. She investigates viking presence in areas of the viking diaspora with low levels of Norse settlement. Irene received her PhD on runology from University of Aberdeen in 2013 and, since then, she has worked in institutions in Sweden, Scotland, and Spain, including a postdoctoral Bernadotte Fellowship at the Onomastics Department at the University of Uppsala.
