ICREA Res. prof. at UB since 2010, and Vice-president of the World Archaeological Congress (2017-2024). Through current and previous positions (Univ.. of Flinders, Australia & Valencia) she explores the ‘Archaeologies’ of rock art from a multidisciplinary approach. Her performance in the field has earned her various academic distinctions: Blaze O'Connor Memorial Award (2013), Honorary apporintments at Flinders Univ. (since 2009), Inner Mongolia Rock Art Protection and Research Association, and Rock Art Research Academy (2010), and a PhD Award (2006). She's curated two major exhibitions on rock art: Art Primer, Artistes de la Prehistòria, awarded the "Youniversal Award" of the Global Fine Art Awards (https://artprimer.mac.cat/es/) and Art Rupestre a la Terra d'Arnhem, Austràlia (http://mupreva.org/exposiciones/?q=va&id=78).

My current research projects aim at brigding the gap between scientific and heritage approaches to one of Europe's most extraordinary bodies of rock art, awarded UNESCO Wolrd Heritage Status in 1998: Levantine rock art. This research is funded with an ERC CoG (2019-2025). My aim is to achieve an holistic view of this art by combining a multidisciplinary (Archaeology, Heritage Science, IT and Ethnoarchaeology) and a multiscale approach (from microanalysis to landscape perspectives) to: a. Redefine LRA through new dating techniques and analythical methods to understand the creative process. b. Use this rock art tradition as a proxy to raise new questions of global interest on the evolution of creative thinking and human cognition. c. Define best practices and protocols for open air rock art conservation and management.
