Professor Åke Hyenstrand, chair of archaeology at the University of Stockholm from 1988 to 20013, died on Wednesday 28 November, aged 68. He was mainly known for his large-scale analyses of the Swedish sites and monuments register and for studies of late-1st Millennium political organisation. A characteristic piece of his work is the 1978 opinion paper “Fornminnesinventering, kulturminnesvård och arkeologisk samhällsforskning” (“Site surveying, heritage management and archaeological social science”, with an abstract in English).
