Who said that you have to go to the countryside to find clays?! Here, Barcelona city centre 😂 Of course, I will analyse them - stay tuned! 🤠

A workshop about rock paintings at my daughter's school sounds as a good way to start the year 😅 #archaeology #rockart #outreach #researchers

Feeling a bit like my badge 🥵 after the #EAA2024, but it has been great to see friends and colleagues coming from all over the world 🌍 I hope conference fees will decrease next year so we can still have an inclusive place to meet and share ideas... See you in Belgrade 🤞!

Mixed feeling these 2 days: didn't get post-doc myself,but I know friends who did and two people of my team as well 🎉🎉 Let's celebrate! #research #academics #postdoc

And...teaching is over for this year 🎉🎉🎉! It has been challenging and extremely tiring between surgeries, therapies and the constant feeling of not being the same as before 😢 This is a picture of lost&found objects, 1st day... #Archaeology #UB #researchers #academia

From #Almeria with ❤️! Presented our collaboration with @prinmaugr to study the ceramics from Bayra, a Nasrid town conquered by the Catholic Crown in the late 15th century and that faced a massive earthquake in 1518 that forced its people to move from the hilltop to the plain 🏚️

Not having posted for long as balancing research and teaching has been hard! But today I found a good reason for going to teach statistics at 8: see how Gaudí mastered to have a perfect sunshine light on the Sagrada's facade! #Barcelona #academia #notamorningperson #researcher

I had 2 hours gap in between medical appointments and I saw on #googlemaps a road named "of Ceramics" on the #Collserola park just on top of the hospital🏥... I couldn't resist and I went for a walk 😂 1/2 #Archaeology #ceramics #researcher

What impinges on production? What creates a manufacturing standard and how is a standard followed, transmitted and transformed across time and space? Are these the basis of #massproduction? Discuss with us at our session at the #EAA2023 in #Belfast @archaeologyEAA

In the last month,I got the #supervision of my first #phdstudent and 2 master ones. It has been exciting and overwhelming.I totally forgot about myself in the process and also that an overprotective supervisor can harm as a an absent one (see pict) @AcademicDilemma

The #Ceramic #Petrography group (CPG) meeting is definitely one of my favourite conferences 😍: 48h of pots, people and #archaeologicalscience in the beautiful frame of #Ghent this year
