Alexander Gramsch received degrees from Cambridge University, UK, and Leipzig University, Germany. Currently he is head of the editorial department of the RGK in Frankfurt a.M. and responsible editor of the journal "Germania". He is member of the advisory board of the journals "Archaeological Dialogues" and "Forum Kritische Archäologie" and was editor of "The European Archaeologist". His research interests include the archaeology of ritual, the human body, and the history and epistemology of archaeology as a discipline. He has done work on topics such as Bronze Age cremation rituals as social communication, on petrification as a social and material process, on the Bell Beaker phenomenon, and on the ritual practice of TRB barrow building. He has co-edited, among others, "Petrification Processes in Matter and Society" (2021), “Archaeologies of Europe. History, Methods, and Theories” (2002) and “Vergleichen als archäologische Methode” (2000), and published his PhD thesis as “Ritual und Kommunikation” (2010). He has worked for private archaeological companies and the State Archaeological Service in Rhineland-Palatinate, lectured at universities in Berlin, Freiburg and Leipzig, and organised numerous conferences and sessions (e.g. for the German Theoretical Archaeology Group / TidA and for the DAI Research Cluster "Body and Death"). His current research focuses on the "Itinerary of the Human Body".
