Folke Bergman

Folke Bergman (1902–1946) was a Swedish explorer and archaeologist. He is best known for his discovery of the Xiaohe Tomb complex in Lop Nur, China, in 1934. Another of his finds, the Juyan bamboo strips of the Han dynasty, zh:居延漢簡 (Inner Mongolia, 1930), is known for its transportation from Beiping to Hong Kong, then to the USA, and finally to Taiwan, in a preservation effort during the Sino-Japanese war.
