Research Interests

|
I am working in four research areas: the history of archaeology, identity, heritage and prehistoric art. Among my publications I would like to highlight “A World History of 19th-C Archaeology” (2007, OUP) and “Archaeological encounters. Building networks of Spanish and British archaeologists in the 20th century” (2012, Cambridge Scholars), the dictionary of archaeologists working in Spain (15th-20th c, 2009), and the 2nd edition of the Oxford Companion of Archaeology (2012, OUP). My recent article on acoustics and rock art has attracted great interest in the media (radio and newspapers). My publications have been translated into French, Portuguese, Serbian and Italian.
I am involved in several international projects: “Archaeology without frontiers – the international contacts of twentieth-century Spanish archaeology” (2012-15, I+D+I project, as PI), Rock Art International (2011-12, SSHRC), Study Group on the Heritage Status of Aboriginal Cultural Property (2010-14, FQRSC).
