Gotska Sandön has long been regarded as a lonely and desolate place where people only occasionally hunted seals. But recent archaeological investigations reveal a considerably more complex history. Sabine Sten, Professor of Osteology at Uppsala University, and colleagues have made new discoveries about life on the island.
The project, which Sten is running together with Professor Johan Rönnby from Södertörn University, started a few years ago and has already led to exciting findings. At Säludden on the island, researchers have unearthed a medieval burial site.
