Neemias Santos da Rosa is an archaeologist working on experimental archaeology and prehistoric art. Throughout his professional career, he has been researching the technological, social and symbolic aspects of post-Paleolithic rock art of the Iberian Peninsula.

Afterwards, during his PhD at the University Rovira i Virgili (Spain), he developed extensive research on the chaîne opératoire involved in the production of the Levantine rock art paintings (2019).
Santos da Rosa also worked for many years in Brazil, collaborating with university institutions and participating in numerous archaeological projects and fieldworks in all regions of the country.
He currently holds a Junior Postdoctoral Researcher position at the ARTSOUNDSCAPES Project, working on the characterization of the acoustic properties of rock art landscapes.
