Anna Gustavsson
Current position:
PhD candidate in Archaeology
Degrees:
MA in Classical Archaeology and Ancient History (2012)
MA in North European Archaeology (2002)
Member of HARN (Histories of Archaeology Research Network )
II am studying mechanisms of knowledge production in the late 1800´s and early 1900´s, with a focus on the contact and interaction between Swedish and Italian scholars. I am especially interested in the formation of and relation between disciplines (Prehistoric studies, Etruscology, Classical archaeology).
I have been working as an archaeologist within the heritage sector and with develop-led/rescue archaeology since 2002. I have also been involved in Mediterranean projects. Since 2008 I am a co-owner and archaeologist in Rio Göteborg Natur - & Kulturkooperativ. We perform develop-led excavations and offer a wide range of services with the aim to combine Culture, Nature and Archaeology in a broad perspective.
I have conducted studies on Heritage issues and the History of Archaelogy and museology as a scholarship holder at the Swedish Institutes of Rome and Athens.
My master thesis in Classical Archaeology (2010) analyzed the founding of the National Archaeological museum in Rome and the politics of culture and archaeology in Italy in the late 1800´s.
Supervisors: Anders Gustafsson, Ida Östenberg and Ulf R. Hansson

Conference Presentations by Anna Gustavsson
The presentation is based on private correspondence, travel notes and congress publications. The key subject of study is Oscar Montelius (1842–1921), affiliated with the National Museum of Stockholm. He travelled all over Europe and became famous worldwide for his typology and for being the first to publish an extensive work on prehistoric Italy. Today he is mainly seen as a ”Nordic” archaeologist, but he was in fact very much involved in Mediterranean research. Despite his fame and the importance of Italy in his work, not much research has been done so far on his specific whereabouts and personal connections within the Italian context.
Many scholars at the time considered Rome to be the most suitable center for international archaeological studies in general and a natural meeting place for all scholars. The city offered a very multidisciplinary and international but also local scholarly community. The presentation will focus on the Italian network of Montelius, especially in the city of Rome, and the possible results/effects of interaction. What informal structures, channels of communication and dissemination of knowledge can be traced in the source material?

The study is based on private correspondence between the most visible individuals in the process, who also had a great impact on the museum system. In Sweden B.E. Hildebrand (1806-1884), Hans Hildebrand (1842-1913) and Oscar Montelius (1843-1921) curated the first archaeological exhibition at the National Museum. They were essentially equal to the Swedish archeology, which received wide international recognition. At international conferences and in field trips in Italy, they met Italian scholars like Edoardo Brizio, Luigi Pigorini and Felice Barnabei. The source material generates from archives in both Italy and Sweden.
The poster presents the project, addresses problem-orientated questions related to biography as a research method and the issues of private archives as source material. In addition the poster is contributing to give attention to the research field of the History of Archaeology.
Rio Kulturkooperativ is a cooperative company based on the west coast of Sweden and owned by its member co-workers. At Rio, archaeologists, biologists, cultural and social workers work together with cultural- and natural environmental related questions in the spatial planning process. With joint studies of the Environmental code (Miljöbalken), the Heritage conservation act (Lagen om kulturminnen) and the Valetta convention, we are working towards a holistic approach. In Sweden it is still not common practice for archaeologists to cooperate on a regular day-to-day basis with those from different disciplines. In Rio Kulturkooperativ, we have implemented such a work method. In the majority of Rio Kulturkooperativ's EIA's and surveys archaeologists work in a close cooperation with biologists.
In the beginning of the year 2000 the Swedish government implemented a certificate system for renewable energy. This was a final, economic reason for the wind power industry to start its expansion in Sweden. Rio Kulturkooperativs integrated work method was found very competitive when it came to archaeological and natural surveys. Since 2006, Rio Kulturkooperativ has been working with several large wind farm projects. By now several of them are already built or will be built in the near future, without any severe impacts for the cultural and natural environment.
In the future, Rio Kulturkooperativ wants to develop the cooperation between branches in order that the company can influence the societal planning in a wider perspective. A future cooperation could involve artists, architects and building specialists, finding the right solutions for the environment, the cultural heritage and the natural reserves.
Following the unification of Italy in 1861 and the announcement of Rome as the new capital a decade later, the State used museums and the new discipline of Archeology to create a national identity. This was not an easy task in a country with strong regional cultures.
The purpose was not just to unite the nation, but also to glorify the new capital. The focus of the museum displays in Rome –yesterday and today– on the Romans and the Roman Empire is therefore not surprising. The issue of the local pre Roman cultures is, however, more ambiguous. Which roles were the pre Roman cultures given in the creation of the past from a political and museological point of view? Why is there a specific Etruscan museum in Rome?
The aim of the paper is to address these matters through a case study of the early history of the Museo Nazionale Etrusco di Villa Giulia in Rome. It was founded in 1889 as one of two sections of the original archeological Museo Nazionale, together with Museo delle Terme, in the baths of Diocletian. Today they are separate institutions, each belonging to different archeological authorities. The paper is based on studies carried out in archives in Rome.
