So the actual government entity that does field archeology on behalf of the national museums is called Arkeologerna since 2015.

Also worth clarifying that Kalmar was close to the Danish border at that time. It was nowhere near the Nothern passage that was the nominal object of the dispute.

“...shows an evolutionary leap from a medieval sword to more modern designs that would eventually dominate the 17th century battlefield” is a bit hyped. While it's hard to say with the corrosion, it looks like a pretty normal sidesword, and those were numerous in the 16^th century. I suppose it's less common to find a Danish sword from this period, though.

Dano-Norwegian Alliance "won" this dispute. Basically Sweden wanted to avoid paying Denmark's tolls for use of it's trade routes, they laid claim to a Norwegian territory and started collecting taxes there. Denmark-Norway actually teamed up with Sweden (Gustavo Adolphus) a few years later in the Thirty Years War, before returning to their rivalry shortly after.

There was a lot of modernization on the battlefield at this point as well with cannons and other siege artillery, arquebusiers, pike and shot formations. Swords were starting to take on a more symbolic role as they were associated with "honorable" combat, I mean they were technically "used" until WW1 by some units and certain positions still carry swords, although now almost entirely symbolically.

“The war was the result of ongoing disputes over taxation of trade routes…”
Where have I seen this before?
UglyTitties t1_j7he2wl wrote
It wasn't really an alliance, as Denmark and Norway at the time were united under the same crown, and thus basically were one country.
impossiblefork t1_j7hf7fz wrote
For our (Swedish) armies swords were among the primary weapons even after this period, even into the 1700eds since they used shock tactics involving infantry charges after a short-range volley.
Gustavus Adolphus introduced some of this in the decade after this war.

Yeah there's just different names for that union depending on the time period, Danish-Norwegian is modern, but there was always a "two kingdoms under one crown" view of it, "Twin Kingdom" was one of the names for it at the time.

With just one picture to go from this particular example looks like a “crab hilted” styled side sword as were popular on Italian made swords in the late 16th-early 17th century.
example with a sail guard also
Not super common in Denmark, but in Latin countries these type of swords were certainly popular ~1620s.
Sideswords like this would have co-occurred with basic “medieval” style simple cross arming swords for a while into the 17th century.
banneryear1868 t1_j7ib7hk wrote
Oh yeah swords we're totally still used at this time, but technology was advancing and Aldolphus (badass) was one of the first to switch things up successfully. Apparently some of his tactics developed in the Thirty Years War were borrowed in to the 19th century.

Was it representative of the time or were they able to actually date it to the war? I might have missed it in the article.

Apprehensive-Ad6212 OP t1_j7fang8 wrote
King Christian IV of Denmark and Norway protested to the Swedish King, Charles IX, but his protests over the new route was ignored. Finally, in April 1611, in response to Sweden’s claim of a traditionally Norwegian area in Northern Norway, Denmark-Norway declared war upon Sweden and invaded.
A force of 6,000 Danish troops was sent to Kalmar to lay siege to the city and castle. .
The war was the result of ongoing disputes over trade routes, due to Denmark–Norway controlling a monopoly through the strait between the Baltic Sea and the North Sea.
