Hjalmar Stolpe

Knut Hjalmar Stolpe (23 April 1841 – 27 January 1905), was a Swedish entomologist, archaeologist, and ethnographer.[1] He was born in Gävle, and is best known for his meticulous archaeological excavations at the Viking-age site Birka. One of the graves he documented there, Bj 581, has been further analysed to be the grave of a female Viking warrior.[2][3] In 1883–1885 he took part in the Vanadis expedition.[4]
