Cornelius Holtorf
ProfessorI read prehistoric archaeology, social anthropology and physical anthropology in Germany, England and Wales. In 1998, I gained my PhD and was subsequently employed in research and teaching at the University of Gothenburg (1998-1999), the University of Cambridge (1999-2002), the Swedish National Heritage Board in Stockholm (2002-2004) and the University of Lund (2005-2008).
Since 2008 I have been working at Kalmar where I am currently a Professor of Archaeology at Linnaeus University. I was Director of the Graduate School in Contract Archaeology (GRASCA).
Since 2017 I have been holding a UNESCO Chair on Heritage Futures at Linnaeus University.
