Lennart Kjellberg
Swedish classical archaeologist (1857-1936)
Anders Lennart Kjellberg (30 September 1857, in Uppsala – 7 May 1936, in Uppsala) was a Swedish classical archaeologist. He was the son of psychiatrist Gustaf Kjellberg (1827–1893).
From 1877 he studied at Uppsala University, earning his doctorate in 1889. In 1896 he became an associate professor of classical archaeology at Uppsala. He received the title of professor in 1913, and five years later became a full professor of classical archaeology.
In the summer of 1894, with Samuel Wide, he performed an archaeological excavation of the sanctuary of Poseidon on the island of Kalaureia. In the spring of 1902, with Johannes Boehlau, he conducted an archaeological dig on the site of the ancient city of Larissa in Asia Minor. Findings from these excavations where submitted in the Athenische Mittheilungen (1895) and the Språkvetenskapliga sällskapets i Uppsala förhandlingar (1900–03). In 1932/34, with Johannes Boehlau, he returned to the excavation site at Larissa.
Published works
He is largely known for his studies involving ancient art history and Greek mythology, in particular, Asklepios, Mythologisch-archäologische Studien (Asclepius, Mythological-archaeological studies, 1894–97).
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Lennart Kjellberg” as swedish classical archaeologist (1857-1936). Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as swedish classical archaeologist (1857-1936). Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Dec 26, 2023. The linked authority identifier is Q5912032. VIAF identifies the subject as 106970550. The Library of Congress control number is no2006048546. 2 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1857, 1936, 1827 and 1893.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
