Elisabeth Rammer

Dr. Elisabeth Rammer is a researcher at the Center for Museum Collections Management within the Faculty of Education, Arts and Architecture at the University for Continuing Education Krems (Donau-Universität Krems). She maintains a dual institutional affiliation with the Department of Art and Culture of the Lower Austrian State Government (Amt der NÖ Landesregierung Abteilung Kunst und Kultur), working specifically with the Lower Austria State Collections (Landessammlungen Niederösterreich) at Schloss Asparn/Zaya.

Her research interests focus on Central European prehistory, with particular expertise in the Aunjetitz culture (Early Bronze Age), archaeological dating methodologies, settlement burials, and the Neolithic to Copper Age transition. Dr. Rammer specializes in Austrian archaeological sites including Asparn/Schletz and Mitterretzbach, conducting detailed analyses of material culture, settlement patterns, and chronological frameworks.

Analysis of her publication record from 2016-2025 reveals consistent scholarly output primarily in German-language academic publications, with a strong emphasis on the Aunjetitz culture and Bronze Age archaeology of Central Europe. Her work demonstrates methodological diversity, incorporating quantitative analysis, visual documentation, and interdisciplinary approaches that bridge archaeological theory with museum collections management practices.

Dr. Rammer actively disseminates her research through academic conferences including the International Conference on The Early and Middle Bronze Age in Central Europe and the Niederösterreichische Landesarchäologie events, where she presents on topics ranging from settlement burials to interdisciplinary church archaeology projects like the Michelberg research.
