Kristen Bornholdt Collins, Independent Scholar

Kristin Bornholdt Collins is an independent scholar with degrees from St Andrews and Cambridge (MPhil & PhD, Archaeology). Her doctoral research, which was supervised by Catherine Hills and the late Mark Blackburn, focused on the Viking-Age coin finds from the Isle of Man and the economy of the Irish Sea region. Her primary interests include the Hiberno-Manx coinage (from c. 1025) and the intersection and overlap of bullion, coin, and other economies in the later Viking Age. She also works as an English language consultant to Scandinavian archaeologists and numismatists writing in English.
