Christian Lindqvist

Christian Lindqvist (* 1948 ; † May 2006 ) was a Swedish archaeologist who dealt with rock art and the only pile-dwelling in Scandinavia and the history of the fauna there ; he was also an osteologist .

From 1976 to 1980 he dug in the southern Swedish stilt house of Alvastra with unusually fine research methods. He therefore found for the first time a large number of tiny pieces that had been overlooked in the excavations previously carried out between 1908 and 1918 and 1928 to 1939. He wrote an article about the Stora Förvar Cave , which had Mesolithic finds.
