Introduction
I specialize in the study of ancient technologies, with a particular focus on the characterization of ceramics from archaeological sites associated with the Iberian expansion between the 15th and 17th centuries. I awarded the prestigious María Zambrano Fellowship EU to investigate technological transfers, building on my extensive specialized training in Archaeology, Archaeometry, and advanced Analytical Techniques.

The technological development of ceramic production during the Early Modern Age in the Iberian Peninsula remains a critical topic in historical archaeological research. This study investigates pottery from Jerez de la Frontera, Andalusia, focusing on materials from the Convent of Santo Domingo, dated between the late 15th and early 17th centuries....
This paper presents new chemical and mineralogical analyses of Early Modern Era
pottery excavated from key archaeological sites at Ksar Seghir and Ceuta in North Africa, as well as Orduña in the Iberian Peninsula. Investigating these artifacts sheds light on provenance, trade dynamics, technological characteristics, and their broader socio-cultural...
Este estudio presenta un análisis multidisciplinario y de vanguardia en arqueometría, explorando la composición química y mineralógica de cerámicas de la Baja Edad Media y Moderna recuperadas en sitios estratégicos como el Alcázar de Nájera y Orduña, en el norte de la Península Ibérica. La investigación se basa en técnicas avanzadas de caracterizac...
Este estudio profundiza en el análisis arqueométrico de cerámicas importadas entre los siglos XVI y XVIII en el sureste de la Península Ibérica, destacando el uso de la Fluorescencia de Rayos X portátil (pXRF) y análisis petrográficos. En el marco de los proyectos CEGRAM, ALDESAL y CERIBAM, y en colaboración con el Grupo de Investigación GPAC de la...

Este artículo analiza cerámicas arqueológicas de las épocas Tardoantigua y Medieval halladas en La Rioja, España, específicamente en el Castillo de Castro Bilibio y en la Vía de Comunicación del Iregua. Los análisis químicos y mineralógicos sugieren que algunas de estas piezas tienen un origen externo, aunque no está clara su procedencia exacta, se...
The aim of this chapter is to present the medieval, early modern, and modern pottery found during the recent excavations in the Secano of the Alhambra. The analysis of the pottery has been twofold: first, the assemblage was characterized typologically and functionally; second, the clays were analysed by archaeometric methods taking into account min...
The study of ceramics from periods after the Castilian occupation are an important field in historical archaeology in Mexico. Based on petrographic and mineralogical studies on glazed ceramic pastes manufactured during the viceregal period and today, production are examined as an effect of the technological innovation in the indigenous pottery trad...
This paper exposes the results of Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis (INAA) on 46 pottery sherds, fragments of Spanish olive jars (botijas) and stoneware containers (martabans) recovered from archaeological interventions in San Diego fort and Acapulco historic sector, a shipwreck site in the western coast of Baja California peninsula, and shi...
Since the first years of the discovery of the Americas, the Iberian Crown promoted a growing and continuous exchange of commercial products with the new world; many of these products were packed in ceramic containers and crossed the Atlantic to meet the demands of the Spaniards and their descendants who were part of the new colonial society. Within...
En este artículo se exponen resultados arqueométricos preliminares obtenidos mediante técnicas avanzadas de petrografía y difracción de rayos X, aplicadas en la caracterización de un conjunto de fragmentos de contenedores cerámicos recuperados durante excavaciones arqueológicas en la Ciudad de México, correspondientes al periodo virreinal. El objet...
