Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolMikkel Nørtoft is a quantitative archaeologist and postdoctoral researcher based in Copenhagen with nine years of experience studying grave wealth, inequality, and ancient migrations in prehistoric Europe. At the University of Copenhagen he leads research on 4th–3rd millennium BCE inequality and has supported major projects mapping early Neolithic migrations using a mix of archaeological data and ancient genomics. His work blends statistical methods, digital mapping and public-facing tools—he helped develop an interactive online map of prehistoric migrations (homeland.ku.dk). Beyond academia he applies his skills to communicating complex deep-history topics through archaeological video game concepts and interdisciplinary collaborations with linguistics and textile research. He brings a rare combination of quantitative rigor and creative public engagement to questions about social stratification in prehistory.
