Heide Wrobel Nørgaard, Phd Email & Phone Number

I am a Danish-based archaeologist with a background in the natural sciences and a trained goldsmith. Contact me at hn@moesgaardmuseum.dk or +45 21315323 – my expertise lies within the combination of scientific methods with traditional archaeological approaches. The many possibilities natural scientific methods offer archaeology are in my research specifically used to investigate the history and prehistory of crafts and technologies.My background as a goldsmith allows me to see and understand the traces of craftsmanship on prehistoric metals. My scientific approach to archeology allows me to prove the processes identified.I am a specialist in the material culture of the Bronze and Early Iron Age in Northern Europe. Earlier investigations concentrated on the Copper Age in Southeast Europe. I'm interested in ancient craftsmanship, especially the techniques that have been used. I aim to identify the organisation of craftsmanship by studying the objects and applying experimental methods to learn more about prehistoric technologies, movement and mobility, trade and exchange, and the individual in craft. I have published over 35 articles in high-impact peer-reviewed journals, popular research articles, and monographs. My latest monograph summarises my Ph.D. dissertation and illustrates the traces of metalcraft on Bronze Age metalwork. My research has been funded by the Cultural Ministry in Denmark, the Independent Research Fund Denmark, the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions, and I participated in projects funded by the Carlsberg Foundation and the ERC.
