My main research interest is in the study of ancient materials, in particular pottery, through instrumental analytical techniques, as a way of obtaining information on their provenance and technology of production.

My PhD research was focused on the archaeometric study of Late Roman amphorae in northeastern Spain, through a combined petrographic, mineralogical and chemical approach, as a basis for investigating long-distance trade networks and economic interactions between this region and other Mediterranean areas in Late Antiquity (4th-7th centuries AD). I have been also involved in the analytical study of pottery from several archaeological sites in the Mediterranean, with a special focus on the field of Roman and Late Antique ceramics in Catalonia and the Balearic Islands, but also from various sites such as Valencia (Spain) and Butrint (Albania), among others.

As a post-doctoral fellow, I have also conducted research on the archaeometric study of Punic transport amphorae from the so-called Punic Amphora Building at Corinth, with the objective of obtaining new evidence on the commercial relationships between Corinth and the western Mediterranean in the 5th century BC.

I have taken part in many research projects and archaeological excavations in Argentina (2002-2010) and Spain (since 2009), especially, since 2013, in the Roman and Late Antique city of Pollentia, Mallorca (Spain). In Argentina, I carried out research on the prehispanic societies of the Hualfín valley (Catamarca), through the study of their ceramic products and funerary practices.

Presentation

Graduated in Humanities (2010) and Sociology (2011) and Master in Prehistoric Archeology (2011) by the Autonomous University of Barcelona. He has been a member of the ERAAUB since January 2012 and has been part of the projects Social and environmental transitions: Simulating the past to understand human behavior (SimulPast) and Characterization and modeling of technological processes in the manufacture of ceramics of ancient societies of Central Asia. From Hellenism to Islam (CAMOTECCER).

He is a doctoral student with a scholarship (FPI) in the Societat i Cultura program (Archeology specialty) by the University of Barcelona, under the tutelage and supervision of Josep M. Gurt i Esparraguera i Verònica Martínez (ERAAUB members). The development of his thesis involves the use of formal models, computational simulation, and statistical analysis to assist in the synthesis, analysis, and interpretation of archaeological evidence. Interested mainly in the construction of social theory applied to the past, he has focused on case studies ranging from the Neolithic to the present, limited to the arid and semi-arid regions of Afro-Eurasia. Despite this diversity of sources, the space-time epicenter of his work has been protohistoric periods and antiquity in Central Asia.
