Ekhine Garcia

Researcher (ARANZADI Society of Science & SOT Archaeological Prospection)

BIO

Graduated on Physics at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid in 2004, she specialized in Physics Applied to Heritage with a master degree at the Université Bordeaux I in 2006. After several years' professional experience working as co-director at SOT Archaeological Prospection, she got her doctorate in 2017 with the thesis 'Characterisation and Optimisation of Geophysical Methodologies on Archaeological Sites of Ancient Period at the Basque Country'. She has leaded many geophysical surveys and she participates regularly on archaeological excavations on sites that have been previously surveyed. She is member of ISAP (International Society of Archaeological Prospection) as well as of SAPaC (Sociedad de Arqueometría Aplicada al Patrimonio Cultural). She has participated in many specialized conferences as well as in workshops to train on archaeological geophysics.
