Marcos Llobera (PhD 1999, Oxford)
Research Interests:
Landscape archaeology, Archaeological and Geographical Information Science (AiSc, GISc), Computer and Mathematical Modeling, Archaeological Theory & Epistemology, Archaeology of Present Past, Material Culture, Western Mediterranean
"My main interest is the development of new computational methods that will hopefully enable us to understand better past landscapes: the significance of certain places; how people may have constructed certain perceptions; how landscape changed and how those changes may be related to changes in social and economic terms, and more subtle experiential, symbolic and ritual ones. Most of this work is inspired in current interpretative approaches to landscapes."
