Curriculum Vitae

Cruz Ferro-Vázquez

I am a geoarchaeologist with more than 15 years of experience in research projects and in technical and knowledge transfer actions. My research deals with the study of past land use and management strategies , and the landscape change derived from them, from an interdisciplinary (Archaeology and Soil Science) perspective. Two further sublines of work stem from this core research: the investigation of anthropogenically driven soil formation and the design and adaptation of soil science methods for archaeological purposes.
