Research
I have a PhD in Archaeology from the University of Helsinki, Finland (2010). My thesis dealt with Late Iron Age burial rituals. Between 2010-2015 I led the multidisciplinary project about the Levänluhta water burial (in Ostrobothnia, Finland) financed by the Emil Aaltonen Foundation. I have also worked as the acting University Lecturer in Museum Studies at the University of Helsinki in 2015-2017.
I have worked extensively with avocational metal-detectorists in Scandinavia. I'm interested in finder behaviours and motivations but also in private collecting, curation and object biographies. Between 2018-2021 I was involved in developing FindSampo, a semantic portal and a Linked Open Data service for searching and analyzing archaeological public finds. I was responsible for the UX research. I'm a founding member of the The European Public Finds Recording Network.
I am also Adjunct Professor in Iron Age studies at the University of Turku, Finland.

Projects
2019-2025: Levänluhta and Käldamäki water burials - will molecules and isotopes solve an Iron Age mystery? (PI Prof Antti Sajantila, University of Helsinki, Finland). Funded by the Kone Foundation, the Academy of Finland and the Finnish Cultural Foundation (~ 1.3M euro). In this project I am the archaeological expert with focus on the overall interpretation of the two burial sites.
2019-2024: ORGINIS: Kotiseutumme jäljet - esihistoriallisen ajan alkuperäistutkimusta luustoon isotooppisignaalien nykysystematiikan valossa, Finnish Museum of Natural History, University of Helsinki (PI Laura Arppe). Strontium isotope research from an inhumation cemetery in Luistari, Eura (Finland). Funded by the Kone Foundation. In this project I work with the archaeological contextualisation and interpretation of the site.
