Mårten Stenberger

Mårten Karl Herman Stenberger (27 March 1898 – 19 January 1973) was a Swedish archaeologist, who from 1952 to 1965 served as professor of archaeology at Uppsala University.

Before his professorship he took part in many excavations, including in Öland, in Gotland, and in Greenland.

Many summers were spent excavating Iron Age settlements in Öland, Sweden's second largest island, and in the 1930s he joined a Danish excavation to Greenland, where he dug out Viking Age houses.

From 1934 onward, Stenberger spent his summers in Oland, and his winters lecturing in Uppsala.

Further excavations from 1946 to 1950, of a town with stone houses, took place at Vallhagar (sv) in Gotland, and in 1955 he published a description of these in two extensive volumes.
