Short biography

Archaeologist, graduated in Archaeology (2016) by Faculdade de Ciências Sociais e Humanas, Universidade Nova de Lisboa, with a master in archaeology by the same University under the tutelage of Dr. José Carlos Quaresma (CHAM-UNL) and Dr. Miguel Ángel Cau Ontiveros (ICREA; ERAAUB). My research interests focus mostly on the study of the commercial and economic dynamics in the late republican and high empire periods, through the study of amphoric and other ceramic vessels.

During my undergraduate years, I participated in several excavations and projects. From 2016 to 2019 I was part of the project TabMir, As tabernae de Mirobriga, Chãos Salgados, Santiago do Cacém: um estudo de caso da economia romana e tardo-antiga na Lusitania. led by José Carlos Quaresma. From 2017 until the present time, I have participated in the Project of excavation of the Roman City of Pollentia (Alcudia, Mallorca, Spain). Since 2019 I have been an associate investigator at Museu Arqueológico Municipal do Fundão and Museu Municipal de Penamacor (Portugal), developing several studies about Roman and Late Antique pottery and glass vessels.

Between 2016 and 2021 I worked as a professional archaeologist in several companies, mostly in urban contexts in Lisbon.

Currently, I have a PhD scholarship funded by the Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia (FCT), an institution from Portugal, to develop a thesis entitled “Roman Trade in the Western Mediterranean – the amphorae in the city of Pollentia (Alcudia, Mallorca) between the Republic and the Principate (2nd century BC – 2nd century AD)”, in the doctoral program of Societat i Cultura by the University of Barcelona.
