Key Research Interests
- Study of pastoral activities through high resolution techniques: phytoliths, ash pseudomorphs, spherulites and FTIR
- Study of dung deposits
- Combined analyses of phytoliths in thin sections and bulk samples
- The effect of fire over biogenic microremains (i.e., phytoliths, ash pseudomorphs and fecal spherulites)
- Post depositional processes affecting archaeological contexts
- Study of agricultural terraces through Microarchaeology
