Natàlia Alonso


N.AlonsoNatàlia Alonso is Assistant Professor of Prehistory and Archaeology at the University of Lleida (UdL). Her research interests centre on Prehistoric and Protohistoric farming systems in the north-western Mediterranean from the perspectives of archaeobotany and technology. She has participated on a number of projects related to palaeoecology, crops, foraging, food and, above all, cereal crops processing in both agricultural and domestic spheres. In this sense, the rotary mill, an invention of the Iron Age Iberian Culture, and its social implications, are at the centre of her latest research. She has also currently added various ethnoarchaeological or experimental perspectives to her area of study. She is member of the Prehistoric Research Group (GIP-UdL) where she co-directs several projects such as the excavations of the Iron Age Fortress of Els Vilars and the Bronze Age settlement of Minferri (Catalonia). She is also an associate member of the CNRS (UMR-5140) and belongs to the Lattara research team (Montpelier, France).
