Sweden and the Baltic: A Story Told Through Trade – An International Archaeology Day Lecture
October 28 @ 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm
Sponsored by: National Arts Club
The Archaeology Committee is honored to welcome Ambassador von Uexküll, Sweden’s Deputy Representative to the United Nations, to our International
Archaeology Day Celebration, exploring how trade has shaped integration, prosperity, and identity in Sweden and across the Baltic Sea region.
From Viking voyages to Hanseatic dominance, commerce has long connected cultures around the Baltic and beyond. During Sweden’s Age of Great Power (Stormaktstiden), trade routes became strategic assets though efforts to control them often failed.
Global transactions later fueled the Industrial Revolution and continues to influence politics. From ancient customs to modern cooperation, trade remains a defining force in the region’s history – and its future.
