About Me

I am an Emergia Fellow (Junta de Andalucía) at Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Granada (Spain) and PI of the Project ARPA (“Computational Analysis of exchange networks in Andalusian Late Prehistory”) and the ANDALUSIL project (“Procurement strategies and production processes of sillimanite polished tools during the Late Prehistory of Andalusia”).

My research interests deal with the study of polished and knapped lithic industries. Furthermore, I am also interested on the analysis of long distance networks during Late Prehistory and on prehistoric open-air rock art.

📚 My Research
I am a specialist in the Late Prehistory of the Iberian Peninsula, with a particular focus on the analysis of material culture (specifically, knapped and polished lithic industries) of Neolithic and Chalcolithic communities. I have also conducted extensive research on Holocene rock art in the northwestern Iberian region. My work is characterized by the application of digital technologies —such as Geographic Information Systems (GIS), statistical analysis, and computational modeling— to address a range of archaeological questions.
