The Alvastra pile-dwelling ( 58°17′N 14°41′E) is a Archaeological site in Sweden indicative of a pile dwelling culture from ca w:3000 BC in neolithic Scandinavia. South Scandinavia has many types of cult centres, but the Alvastra pile dwelling is unique in Northern Europe and is the only of its kind found outside of the Alps (Alpine Pile Dweller culture).
- Pile dwellings are generally believed to be a seasonal social and religious centre of a tribe. On this site, in the dwelling the people using it left objects from the Funnelbeaker culture and pottery from the Pitted Ware culture. Circa two thirds of the pile dwelling was excavated by archaeologists in three phases:
- 1908–18,
- 1928–39 and
- 1976–80.
