Formal collaboration with:: University of the Balearic Islands
Country:: Spain
Description:: Since 2015, I have been an associated research fellow of the University of the Balearic Islands working on the physical and social connections established between prehistoric communities of archipelagos and islands, paying special attention to the case study of the Balearic Islands, and - by comparison - other Mediterranean Islands. My role in this research network is to advise on issues arising from the comparison between islands, especially mobility, settlement, abandonment, and the development of island identities. I have collaborated on three projects to date: • 2025-2029 - PID2023-148651NB-I00 "People make islands as islands make people. Assemblages and communities of practice in the Balearic Islands during Late Prehistory". Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación. Spain • 2019-2023 - PID2019-108692GB-I00 "Movilidad y conectividad de las comunidades prehistóricas en el Mediterráneo Occidental durante la prehistoria reciente: El caso de las Islas Baleares". Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades. • 2015-2019 - HAR2015-67211-P "Archipiélagos: Paisajes, comunidades prehistóricas insulares y estrategias de conectividad en el Mediterráneo occidental. El caso de las islas Baleares durante la prehistoria reciente (2500-123 BC)”. Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades.
