- Current affiliation: Linnaeus University
- Research school: GRASCA (Graduate School in Contract Archaeology)
- Research focus:
- Bioarchaeological analysis of violence
- Taphonomic studies of human decomposition
- Forensic applications in archaeological contexts
Her research explores the intersection of natural decay processes and cultural practices surrounding death. Key projects include studies of the Sandby Borg massacre and experimental taphonomic investigations into decomposition patterns.
Clara contributes to advancements in forensic archaeology through interdisciplinary collaborations, particularly in understanding postmortem interval estimation and environmental interactions with human remains. Her publications demonstrate expertise in both terrestrial and aquatic decomposition contexts.
She co-founded and participates in the Archaeothanatology Working Group, which develops standardized methodologies for analyzing human remains in archaeological contexts.
