At the end of my degree, I dedicated myself, exclusively, to Biological Anthropology, mostly as a member of archeological teams. I worked at places where biological human remains wore exhumated, most of the time as a Main Anthropologist.

My master’s degree dissertation was about an archeological site, with multiple cultural contexts, and, at least nine hundred years as a burial place to Miranda do Corvo’s population. This large sample, surpassing the thousand individuals was a chance for other master’s students to make their own dissertation.

Since 2016 as Codirector at “O Sítio Arqueológico de São Simão”, Penela, working as a member of the Roman Villa of Rabaçal Museum, being responsible of the exhumation of the osteological material from the Nossa Senhora da Graça’s Necropolis.
