Information

Dr González-Álvarez holds a JdC-Incorporación postdoctoral contract (May 2021-April 2024) at the INCIPIT. His PhD (2016) received the highest honours and the 2015-2016 Doctoral Extraordinary Award at the UCM, where he obtained a FPU fellowship (August 2009-July 2013). His postdoctoral career began with a contract funded by the Galician Science & Innovation Agency (June 2016-March 2019) that allowed him to spend 2 years as Visiting Fellow at Durham University. Later he obtained a JdC-Formación postdoctoral contract (April 2019-April 2021) at the Incipit. His research explores the long-term biographies of cultural landscapes in rural environs, combining archaeological, palaeoenvironmental and ethnographic datasets. He is an archaeologist with a strong leadership background both in academic and commercial-led field projects: supervising excavations, coordinating interdisciplinary research teams, and managing public outreach programs. Besides being a team member in several projects related to Landscape Archaeology, Late Prehistory and Public Archaeology, the candidate shows independence leading his own field projects in NW Spain since 2016. These investigations aim to understand the cultural and social processes underpinning the formation of rural landscapes, paying attention to the anthropization of mountainous areas in Late Prehistory, the social landscapes of Iron Age communities, and the expansion of the Roman state in NW Iberia.
