About

Mikael Fauvelle is an associate professor of archaeology and ancient history at Lund University, specialising in the origins of complex economic systems and social inequality in pre-state societies. His research centres on maritime cultures, the emergence of money, and long-distance trade networks in coastal and island communities, studied through non-destructive techniques such as X-ray and infrared spectrometry. He directs the Heritage Science theme at LINXS and leads two major projects: Sacred Seas, investigating Neolithic exchange networks in the Baltic Sea region, and Complex Canoes, which applies synchrotron methods to museum collections of Bronze Age plank boats.
