Biography
Sofia received a Bachelor of History from the Autonomous University of Madrid (2005), a Master of Palaeontology from the Complutense University of Madrid (2009), a Master of Osteoarchaeology from the University of Edinburgh (2011), a PhD in Prehistoric Archaeology from the Autonomous University of Barcelona (2015) and a PhD in Archaeology from the Australian National University (2019).
She is an expert in the taphonomic analysis of fauna remains to study human subsistence strategies and human-animal interactions, mainly on Pleistocene-early Holocene periods. She has also experience on archaeothanatology and bioanthropological studies in Island Southeast Asia. She is currently exploring the possibilities of ancient bone proteomics (palaeoproteomics) research in the Indo-Pacific region.
Her DECRA project combines taphonomic analyses of small vertebrates with palaeoproteomic research on large vertebrates to understand Neanderthal lifeways and diet before their extinctions from the Iberian Southeastern Prepyrenness
