I finished my degree at the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB) in 1996, and I started my PhD research in the Institució Milà i Fontanals (CSIC) with a grant from the Catalan Government (Generalitat de Catalunya). My PhD research project dealt with ethnoarchaeology and new approaches to the study of lithics in hunter-gather-fisher societies. Within the frame of Ethnoarchaeology considered as an analytical tool to develop new methods in Archaeology in 2005 I started my first excavations (in collaboration with CADIC-CONICET) in Lanashuaia bay (Beagle Channel, Tierra del Fuego) about the social dimension of space and its archaeological recognition.
From 2006 to 2007, as a postdoc researcher of the Spanish Ministry of Science at the Department of Archaeology of the University of York and CADIC-CONICET, I explored the capabilities and potential of methods issued from our ethnoarchaeological research on British Mesolitic contexts.

Research Interest
|
|
Ethnoarchaeology is an interesting (and exciting!) frame to obtain new archaeological methods and techniques in order to study human relations and their social organization with a specific interest for social change dynamics in hunter-gatherer societies.
Shell-middens offer a fantastic high resolution context to answer these questions through the implementation of an interdisciplinary approach (using different techniques and methods). Our project is focused on the analysis of social aggregation and the possibility of cooperation and solidarity dynamics’ development by Yamana society.
