We are glad to announce a new incorporation to the GIAP Archaeozoology team. Diana Álvarez Abrio joined us this September under the supervision of Lídia Colominas.
About Diana
Diana Álvarez is a PhD candidate in Archaeology at Universitat Rovira i Virgili (Tarragona). She holds a Bachelor’s degree in History and a Master’s degree in Archaeology from the same institution. As a member of the research group GRESEPIA (Grup de Recerca Seminario de Protohistòria I Arqueologia), she carries years of experience as an archaeologist, with a focus on archaeological sites located on the Ebro River’s lower course.
She began her training in Archaeozoology at GIAP-ICAC during her Master’s degree, which will be fully consolidated with her Doctoral Thesis.
Her research will focus on the study of the exploitation of animal resources, including livestock and hunting practices, as well as the presence of animals in the human diet, in the area of the lower course of the Ebro River from the 7th century BC to the 2nd century BC. This approach will allow her to study the changes and continuities of animal exploitation in this territory until the Romanization period.
