Acknowledgements

Big parts of the first draft of this course have been developed primarily as part of a collaboration between University of Tartu and University of Copenhagen (Twinning project ECHO: Expanding Concept and Methodology for Human Past Studies in the Eastern Baltic Region).

Huge thanks go to my students and mentees for showing me how focusing on the essentials and fundamentals (rather than perfection and theory) is the most important thing in pushing research project forward.
