Alison Klevnäs is a mortuary archaeologist based in the Department of Archaeology and Classical Studies at Stockholm University. She is currently leading a project funded by the Swedish Research Council on customs of reopening burials in early medieval Europe.
Her PhD was completed at the University of Cambridge, UK, in 2010. Since then she has been teaching on a range of topics, including archaeological theory, alongside developing her specialism in the archaeology of death and burial. Questions of how we can recognize and understand disturbed and manipulated graves run through many of her publications, which are focused on the later first millennium CE in northern and western Europe.
Since 2018 she has edited Current Swedish Archaeology, Sweden's highest ranked academic journal for the discipline.
