"Dr. Victorino Mayoral Herrera (Madrid, 1970; PhD, 2001, Complutense University of Madrid, Spain). Staff Scientist at the Instituto de Arqueología-Mérida (Merida Institute of Archaeology) (IAM), Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (Spanish National Research Council) (CSIC) in Spain. Before joining the IAM, he developed his career at the Complutense University of Madrid and in the Heritage Administration of the Autonomous Region of Extremadura. His research has been mainly concerned with an archaeological approach to the study of landscape, with two main vectors. On the one hand, a historical analysis focused on the transition between indigenous cultures and the Roman rule in the Mediterranean, without neglecting the longue durée nature of this kind of research. On the other hand, in methodological terms his efforts have been mainly devoted to the exploration of the potential of non-invasive methods like remote sensing, aerial, geophysical, and especially surface survey with the support of geospatial technologies.
Victorino has conducted multiple research projects in Spain. He has authored, among others, Paisajes Agrarios y cambios social en Andalucía Oriental entre los períodos ibérico y romano (2004), Arqueología del trabajo. El ciclo de la vida en un poblado ibérico (2007), and co-edited collective works like Tecnologías de información geográfica y análisis arqueológico del territorio. Actas del V Simposio Internacional de Arqueología de Mérida (2011) and La revalorización de zonas arqueológicas mediante el empleo de técnicas no destructivas (2016)."
"Dr. César Parcero-Oubiña (Santiago de Compostela, 1969; PhD, 2001, University of Santiago de Compostela, Spain). Staff Scientist at the Instituto de Ciencias del Patrimonio (Institute of Heritage Sciences) (Incipit), Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (Spanish National Research Council) (CSIC) in Spain. Before joining the Incipit, he developed his career at the University of Santiago de Compostela.
His research has mainly been concerned with landscape archaeology and has focused on the analysis of the productive, social and political dimensions of later prehistoric societies (the Iron Age in Western Europe, and now the later pre-Hispanic context in South America). He is also interested in the application of geospatial technologies for both archaeology and the wider field of Cultural Heritage.
He has carried out fieldwork in Spain, Uruguay and Chile, and collaborated in projects in Ethiopia and Mongolia.
César has authored, among others, La construcción del paisaje social en la Edad del Hierro del Noroeste Ibérico (2002) and co-edited A data model for Cultural Heritage within INSPIRE (2014) and Atlas Arqueolóxico da Paisaxe Galega (2016).
He is currently Project Officer of the Archaeolandscapes International association and member of the Spanish Spatial Data Infrastructures Working Group."
"Pastor Fábrega-Álvarez (Ourense, 1978; MA, 2003, University of Santiago de Compostela, Spain). Technical staff member at the Instituto de Ciencias del Patrimonio (Institute of Heritage Sciences) (Incipit), Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (Spanish National Research Council) (CSIC) in Spain. His fields of interest are the design of methodologies for analyzing and managing archaeological heritage from a geographic and landscape perspective. More specifically, his work is focused on the use of geospatial technologies such as GIS, Remote Sensing and 3D representation techniques for the analysis of the archaeological record.
Recently, he has been involved in projects like SPATRIAL and CHARM, which aim to develop conceptual and spatial models of cultural heritage. He has been member of the Spanish Spatial Data Infraestructures Working Group. He has also participated in projects and initiatives related to the archaeological study of ancient landscapes, such as ArchaeoLandscapes Europe and Agriculture and Empire in the High Altitude Atacama Desert (Chile)
On all those subjects he has published different contributions in books, conference proceedings and papers in national and international scientific journals."
