Short biography

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Anthropology with a major in Archaeology (2013) and an Archaeology degree (2015) from the University of Chile. I also completed a Master of Science in the Technology and Analysis of Archaeological Materials (2016) at the Institute of Archaeology of University College London (UCL). Since my bachelor’s dissertation, I have been interested in studying hunter-gatherer rock art and have developed research on several areas in Chile. I am currently completing my Ph.D. research at the University of Barcelona. It is a comparative study of hunter-gatherer rock art from North Central Chile and Central Patagonia. This project has funding from a Ph.D. scholarship from the ANID Becas-Chile program.
