GUNILLA LARSSON
Investigadora
Gunilla Larsson, Ph D, is a marine archaeologist and a world leading expert on ship building, ships and seafaring in the Baltic Sea area during the Prehistoric periods and Middle Ages. In her thesis, avhandling Ship and Society. Maritime Ideology in Late Iron Age Sweden, she has identified and defined the different boat building traditions represented in the area. Based on the results, she has been able to trace and get evidence for meetings and cultural contacts between different ethnical groups. She has also shown that the specific Sámi sewing technique used in Sámi traditional boat building, appears in a Viking Age boat burial boat in Tuna, Badelunda Parish, Västmanland, which shows Sámi presence in Central Sweden during this period.

She was here a project leader for the reconstruction of the Vik boat from the 11th century at National Maritime Museum, for the replica building of the Viking Age boat in burial nr 3, Old Uppsala, as well as project leader for the replica building of the Viking Age sewn Sámi boat from Tuna in Badelunda at Västmanland County Museum.
