About Helene Agerskov Rose

Helene Agerskov Rose is a Danish archaeologist and osteologist, specialised in archaeological science. Her research profile lies at the intersection between burial archaeology and archaeological science and with case-studies temporally spanning the Mesolithic to the Middle Ages. She is particular interested in North European Iron Age and Bayesian chronological modelling of radiocarbon data.

Helene is employed as a researcher at the Department of Historical Research, University of Gothenburg since 2023. She is affiliated with the interdisciplinary ERC Synergy project COREX, where she integrates a range of archaeological and bioarchaeological proxies with radiocarbon dating in a Bayesian framework. From 2016-2023 she was emplyed at the Centre for Baltic and Scandinavian Archaeology (ZBSA), Schloss Gottorf, Schleswig, where she was affiliated with the collaborative research centre CRC1266 'Scales of Transformations' at Kiel University.

Helene was PI of the Danish-German collaboration URNFIELD project, funded by Interreg Deuthsland-Danmark (2021-22). The project published an edited volume that provides the first overview of the urnfield phenomenon in northwestern Europe and forms the basis for future research across national and disciplinary boundaries (Rose et al. 2023).

Helene has been an editor of the Danish Journal of Archaeology since 2022, with particular focus on Iron Age and archaeological science.

Helene teaches at undergraduate and graduate level, mainly in the subjects Scandinavian Iron Age, human osteology and quantitative methods (R, Excel). She also supervises students in the same areas.
