About Me

I am a researcher specialised in the Archaeology of Roman landscapes and in computing applications in Archaeology. Over the years, I have developed a very diverse background where I combine ancient history, archaeology, and computing science for achieving deeper and richer insights of past societies and how these developed through time and adapted to their new historical and environmental circumstances. Amongst the areas where I have worked are southern Spain, Italy, southern France, Germany, and southern Portugal, where I have explored the structure and organisation of landscapes and territories and interpreted them in terms of the historical and cultural developments of the people who inhabited them across history. It’s a fascinating and innovative approach to Classical Archaeology, and I am happy to share my expertise with anyone interested on it, so… all welcome!
