Last Friday Fredrik successfully, and well, defended his dissertation “Shaping for the hunt: Harpoon point ecomorphology in Mesolithic Sweden” at Stockholm University. His opponent was Prof. Peter Jordan from Lund University, who asked many well crafted questions, along with a couple of sharp ones on the topic of Ecological Psychology. Fredrik defended his choices to base part of his dissertation on the theory very well. If you’re curious about how Fredrik involves EP/DST in his work then find paper four of the thesis (submitted to journal at the time of writing) in the links below (titled “Remnants of action: Tracing kinematic and kinetic information from weapon use into weapon point making through experimental archaeology”). We now look forward to Fredrik deepening his commitments to EP/DST even further and we are excited to follow the continued, promising research path that he has carved out for himself during his doctoral studies. Congratulations!
