Short biography
Marta Sánchez de la Torre has a PhD in History from the Universitat de Barcelona (2015). She currently works at the UB as a Beatriu de Pinós postdoctoral researcher. She is a member of the SERP and the IAUB, where she acts as secretary and representative of the postdoctoral researchers on the Main Board. Her research focuses on the study of the prehistoric human mobility through the geochemical analysis of lithic materials. She has carried out pre and postdoctoral stays in different laboratories in France, Italy, Canada and Hungary. In the last years she has leaded and participated in several research projects in Spain, France and Portugal, funded with regional, state and European funds. Since 2013 she is directing archaeological seasons at prehistoric sites from NE Iberia, such as the Cova del Parco, the Xicotó Rockshelter and the open-air site of Montlleó, between others.
