Marta Strömberg
Märta Strömberg , nee Magnusson, (born November 7, 1921 in Uddevalla ; † February 3, 2012 in Lund , Sweden ) was a Swedish prehistoric scientist .
Strömberg studied archeology at Lund University and graduated in 1943. Her dissertation in 1961 dealt with the settlements of the younger Iron Age in Skåne . The idea for the work arose in connection with an investigation into the remains of an Iron Age farm in Stockholm. Strömberg worked for many years at the Institute for Archeology at Lund University, initially as an assistant and later as a lecturer.
Strömberg wrote several books (also in German) and articles about the Stone , Bronze and Iron Ages in Skåne. The Hagestad project began in the 1960s. In this context, she examined prehistoric remains in some communities of Österlen , especially in the villages of Hagestad , Valleberga and Ingelstorp . The investigations concerned megalithic and other burial sites from the Stone, Bronze and Iron Ages. Many of their studies have been presented to a wider audience in popular form. In 2002 she received the Montelius Medal . She was a corresponding member of the German Archaeological Institute .
Märta Strömberg has been married since 1949 and has one daughter.
