Description: This book explores post-medieval archaeology in Nordic countries, focusing on the period after the Middle Ages. It examines how shifting political borders, urban development, trade, and maritime connections have shaped the region's history. The book compares the approaches to archaeological laws and site protection in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, and Iceland. Themes include the rise of historical archaeology, the study of urban life, material culture, as well as the lives of minority groups and the impacts of colonialism and migration. It also highlights the importance of cross-border collaboration in preserving the region's archaeological heritage, especially in light of climate change.
