About
I am an archaeobotanist with research interests in early farming and past subsistence in the Mediterranean area. I am currently leading a large European project on the origins and spread of agriculture in the western Mediterranean (AGRIWESTMED) which is funded by the ERC (European Resesarch Council) through an Advanced Grant (2008). The project aims to explore the adoption of farming in the Iberian Peninsula and north of Morocco through the study of various archaeobotanical and environmental proxies together with functional analysis of lithic material and ethnoarchaeological studies of past agricultural practices.
AGRIWESTMED involves researchers from different Spanish, British, German and Portuguese universities.
