Productive and Social Practices in Prehistoric and Protohistoric Earthen Building - Softcover

Über die Autorinnen und Autoren

María Pastor Quiles is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Alicante, focused on earth construction techniques in the late prehistoric Iberian Peninsula. She has also carried out research on the various uses of mud in domestic contexts, being broadly interested in the study of materials, production processes, technology, ethnoarchaeology, and experimental archaeology.

Lucía Ruano Posada is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Lisbon, focused on the archaeology of domestic construction during late prehistory, specifically examining the technical processes of earthen building and the functional organisation of household spaces.

Alejandra Sánchez-Polo is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Valladolid whose work is defi ned by a multi-disciplinary approach that combines documentary sources, archaeological analysis, and cutting-edge geoarchaeological techniques. With a particular focus on domestic architecture, her research explores construction practices, material choices, and ritual practices in the Bronze and Early Iron Ages of Iberia.

Marta Mateu Sagués is an archaeologist and director of the Sant Jaume excavations. Currently, she is a GRAP collaborator (University of Barcelona), and an affiliated researcher at the ICAC. Having completed several postdoctoral fellowships, including in Mexico, she specialises in micromorphology and earthen architecture. Her research explores protohistoric domestic spaces and construction techniques, notably through the MICRODOM project, applying micromorphological analysis to northwestern Mediterranean settlements. She actively promotes academic dissemination.
