Short biography
I am an archaeologist specialized in zooarchaeology. I work on the definition of patterns on livestock management and the role of animals in food, work and transport, as well as on the ritual practices of agricultural and livestock societies from the Holocene to the Roman period. History degree (Universtat Autònoma de Barcelona 1985) and PhD in History (Universitat de Girona 2011). Since 1986 I have participated in archaeological projects, highlighting my contribution to zooarchaeological studies at the sites of Bòbila Madurell and Can Roqueta in Vallès Occidental, at Serrat dels Espinyers (Isona), at Campa Torres (Gijón, Asturias), at Coimbra del Barranco Ancho (Jumilla, Murcia) and at Las Casas del Turuñuelo (Guareña, Badajoz).
