Friday 12 November, PhD student Johan S. Larsen defended his PhD dissertation "The Ghosts of Archaeologies Past: Innovations, developments, and movements of excavation practices in Danish towns". 

The PhD dissertation seeked to answer questions on how archaeological field methods develop over time, why these methods develop in their given trajectory, and what this means for archaeology as a whole. The archaeological practice in Danish towns had been selected as a case study for this purpose.

The committee unanimously recommended that Johan be awarded the degree of PhD by the Faculty of Arts, Aarhus University. Congratulations, Johan!
