He continues to be involved in the scientific
coordination of the AREA
project-an EC funded European-wide research network
on the archives and history
of archaeology. His doctoral research at the

MARGARITA DÍAZ-ANDREU
|
Margarita Díaz-Andreu
is an archaeologist interested in the prehistoric
archaeology and art of Western
Europe and the politics of identity in
archaeology (nationalism
and colonialism, ethnicity and gender). She has
carried out fieldwork in
Spain and Britain. She teaches on prehistoric
art and archaeology, the
history of archaeology and identity.
She has written several books
and articles on the prehistory of the
Iberian Peninsula and the
United Kingdom and their prehistoric art. Her
PhD (University Complutense
of Madrid, 1990) was a study of the
emergence of social complexity
in Central Spain. It focused on the
dynamics of long-term social
change in settlement patterns, burial
rituals, metallurgy and
other types of material culture in the Cuenca
region throughout the Bronze
Age (c. 2250-1500 BC) (book published in
1994, book on metallurgy
in 1998). Projects on prehistoric art have
discussed issues of interpretation
(landscape, gender and religious
beliefs) and recording techniques
(mainly the application of new 3D
imaging techniques for the
recording of rock carvings). These have
centred on case studies
in Spain (Cuenca), and Britain (Cumbria,
Northumberland and Yorkshire).
Díaz-Andreu has also
published widely on a second major area of
research, identity and the
history of archaeology, with books such as
The Archaeology of Identity
(2005), Nationalism and Archaeology (1996,
2001), Excavating Women.
A History of Women in European Archaeology
(1998), and A World History
of Archaeology in the Nineteenth Century:
Nationalism, Imperialism
and the Past (forthcoming). Her research has
focused on particular case
studies in Spain and the United Kingdom, as
well as wide-ranging overviews
of gender, nationalism and imperialism.
Her work has been published
mainly in English and Spanish by publishing
houses and journals in the
US, Britain and Spain, as well as Brazil and
Mexico, and has been translated
into other languages.
