Swedish Contributions to American Archaeology: A Note

Christer Lindberg, of the Department of Sociology and Anthropology, University of Lund, Sweden, has completed a fairly extensive doctoral dissertation (published version 548 pages) on 'the contributions of Baron Nils Erland Rebert Nordenskiold (1877-1932) to American archaeology and ethnology. Lindberg's research interest appears to be in the history of our discipline, as seen in the four publications listed below, covering Carl V. Rartman, Rafael Karsten, Erland Nordenskiold, and Hjalmar Stolpe. Erland Nordenskiold's cousin, Gustaf, is well known to many for his archaeological work in the American Southwest.
