Karina Grömer (born 1974) is an Austrian archaeologist known for her contribution to the study of archaeological textiles. She is the head of the Department of Prehistory at the Natural History Museum Vienna in Austria. [1]
Grömer studied prehistoric archaeology, anthropology, history and ethnology at the University of Vienna, Department of Prehistory and Historical Archaeology in Austria. [2] During her studies she was a member of excavation teams in Austria, France, Croatia and Poland, excavating settlements and cemeteries, covering a time-span between Neolithic and Roman Period. She is engaged with studies in material culture, especially Neolithic, Bronze and Iron Age in Central and Eastern Central Europe. In her research methodology, she is working in an interdisciplinary research context to set artefacts into a wider chronological and supra-regional framework. Theoretical approaches used for her studies are about identity, innovation and creativity, functional design theory, visual coding, design concepts, sociological and semiotic studies.[ citation needed]
In 2007 she wrote her doctoral thesis about the Bronze Age textile finds from Hallstatt (Bronzezeitliche Gewebefunde aus Hallstatt und die Entwicklung der Textiltechnologie zur Eisenzeit) and in 2019 her Habilitation at the University of Vienna in 2019 “Archaeological Textile Research - Technical, economic and social aspects of textile production and clothing from Neolithic to the Early Modern Era”. [3]
Since 2008 she has been working for international and interdisciplinary research projects at the Department of Prehistory at the Natural History Museum Vienna. Her current research focuses on the analysis of textiles from graves and salt-mines, covering a time span from 2000 BC to 1000 AD and a geographical area from Central Europe to Iran.[ citation needed]
Grömer is a member of HEAS Team Leaders, HEAS is the Human Evolution and Archaeological Sciences Consortium in Austria [4] and Board Member of Council for Austrian Archaeology. [5]
In November 2020 she won the Austrian Science Slam [6] with the performance "Hallstatt It Girl with Soundeffect". [7]
She teaches at the University of Vienna, Institute for Prehistory and Historical Archaeology, [8] [9] and acts as visiting lecturer at the University Cambridge (GB), University Southampton (GB) and the Mazaryk University Brno (CZ), [10] where she holds lectures about textile archaeology and experimental archaeology.
She is the author of 9 monographs (4 peer-reviewed), 14 edited volumes (7 peer-reviewed); 82 journal articles (46 peer-reviewed); 121 book chapters (59 peer-reviewed) and numerous miscellaneous publications including popular science. [11]
She is the main editor of four archaeological–anthropological periodicals in Austria (Archäologie Österreichs [12] (until 2010); Mitteilungen der Anthropologischen Gesellschaft in Wien [13], Archäologie Online Hallstatt [14]; Prähistorische Forschungen Online [15]) and member of the editorial board of Annalen des Naturhistorischen Museums Wien [16] Serie A, Archaeological Textiles Review at the Centre for Textile Research Copenhagen.
