Short biography

Graduated in History from the University of Barcelona (2011), Master in Archeology from the University of Granada (2013). PhD in History, History of Art and Geography from the University of the Balearic Islands (2020).

Research interests

I am interested in studying livestock strategies and the exploitation of the landscape in the past with special emphasis on island contexts. Specifically, my research focuses mainly on the study of faunal remains recovered in archaeological sites, the analysis of diet (dental microwear) and mobility (87Sr/86Sr).
