Introduction
I am currently a PhD candidate (FPI-2021) in Archaeology at University of Granada. My thesis aims to study mobility dynamics of megalithic populations from SE Iberia through isotope analysis. I graduated with a degree in History from University of Sevilla. I also studied Bioarchaeology with a Master degree in 2018 from UCM, UAM and UAH. In my studies I focus on bioarchaeology, archaeology of death and mobility in Late Prehistory societies (mainly on Copper Age).

Uncertainties regarding traditional osteological methods in biological sex estimation can often be overcome with genomic and proteomic analyses. The combination of the three methodologies has been used for a better understanding of the gender-related funerary rituals at the Iberian megalithic cemetery of Panoría. As a result, 44 individuals have be...
Conference Paper
Full-text available
Iberian megalithic funerary rituals are characterized by multi-depositional events creating complex palimpsests. This is the case of southeastern Iberia, one of the classical Iberian megalithic regions. Archaeological fieldwork undertaken in 2023 at Los Milanes site (Abla, Almería), revealed a necropolis composed of at least 18 tholoi or tombs with...

The chronology and temporality of the different ritual and funerary practices is a key aspect in the study of megalithic societies. The cemetery of Panoría offers an excellent opportunity for exploring ritual complexity in Iberia through radiocarbon chronology. For this purpose, seventy-three radiocarbon dates were obtained and analysed with...
Article
Full-text available
The transition between the Copper Age and the Argaric Bronze Age in southeastern Iberia has traditionally been understood in an evolutionary framework that would have involved the replacement of some cultural forms by others. The chronology of megalithic societies has changed this assumption, revealing that the continuity of ancestral funerary prac...

We examine the quantity, contextual quality and spatial distribution of the data gathered in the strontium isotope archaeological database for the Iberian Peninsula and the Balearic Islands, an open source available as part of IDEArq (www.idearq.org), the spatial data infrastructure hosted at the Instituto de Historia (CSIC). It has to date 1635 87...

The strange times we are living are showing us how quickly humans can adapt to change. Keeping in mind that transformations are most likely a constantly occurring aspect of human life we want to ask: How was change in prehistory? Was it perceptible on a human scale? Were past communities able to readjust and reinvent themselves in the face of adver...
Article
Full-text available
The estimation of the sex of the individual is a parameter of great value in forensic contexts and, above all, in archaeological contexts, where it is more difficult to apply genetic studies. In contrast with methods based on non-metric variables, we propose the use of a random generalized linear model for the determination of sex, starting from th...
