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.
