Astrid A Noterman

Astrid A. Noterman has been affiliated with Stockholm University, Sweden, as part of a project funded by the Swedish Research Council entitled ‘Interacting with the dead. Belief and conflict in Early Medieval Europe’ and led by Alison Klevnäs. Her ongoing research centres on early medieval grave reopening, Merovingian historiography, and 19th century archaeology and its implications for the construction of French identity. She is particularly interested in reconstructing the chronology of reopenings through the taphonomical analysis of disturbed graves. She has developed the use of archaeothanatological approaches understanding the dynamics of re-entered and re-worked burials.

She is also a collaborative member of the Center for Medieval Studies (CESCM) since 2017 and which is a Mixed Research Unit (UMR) managed by the University of Poitiers and the CNRS (Centre national de la Recherche scientifique).
