Morten Axboe

Morten Axboe is a Danish archaeologist, notable for his study of bracteates. Axboe is also known for theorizing a connection between finds of 6th century Danish goldwork and the extreme weather events of 535–536, which he suggests as a model for the fimbulwinter. Gold may have been buried, he suggested, as sacrifices intended to appease the gods.

In 2007 he obtained his DPhil with his dissertation Brakteatstudier (Studies in Gold Bracteates).
