Short biography
Marta Sánchez de la Torre is an associate professor at the Department of History and Archeology of the University of Barcelona and a researcher at the Seminari d’Estudis i Recerques Prehistòriques (SERP) and the Institute of Archeology of the University of Barcelona (IAUB). She is number academic of the Young Academy of Spain since 2023 and member of the FECYT platform Women in Science from the Ministry of Science and Innovation. She holds a doctorate in Prehistory (2015) and has worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Barcelona (2020-2023) and previously at the University of Zaragoza (2018-2019) and the Université Bordeaux Montaigne, in France (2015-2017). She has made research stays in Canada, France, Italy and Hungary. Her main line of research focuses on the study of the mobility of prehistoric societies through the geochemical analysis of lithic materials. As an archaeologist, since 2013 she has co-directed archaeological interventions in prehistoric sites in the NE peninsula. She is the author of more than 40 scientific articles and in 2022 she has received funding through a Starting Grant from the European Research Council (ERC) to investigate human mobility in the Pyrenean Mountains during the last glacial episode.
