Short biography
After completing my graduate and postgraduate studies in Rome, I earned my Ph.D. in African Archaeology from University College London (UCL) in 2012. I have since pursued a transdisciplinary career, blending archaeology, anthropology, and environmental science. In 2015, I was appointed Honorary Fellow at the School of Geography, Archaeology, and Environmental Studies at the University of the Witwatersrand (Johannesburg, South Africa). As the Principal Investigator of the European Research Council (ERC)-funded project CAMP (Reconstructing the Archaeology of Mobile Pastoralism: Bringing the Site Level into Long-Term Pastoral Narratives), I am pioneering an innovative methodology for studying pastoral archaeological sites. Since 2022, I have also been a member of the Equality and Diversity Commission of the Faculty of Humanities at UPF.
