. Agustín Diez-Castillo got his PhD at the Univerisity of Cantabria [1] in 1996. His dissertation was about the prehistoric settlement pattern in the Nansa and Deva valleys (Northern Spain). At the time he got a grant from the Marcelino Foundation to make a post-doc stage at the University of California, Berkeley [2]. There at both the Department of Anthropology and Archaeological Research Facility (hosted by professor Margaret W.Conkey) became an active member of the community, being one of the founders of the Berkeley Geospatial Group. Then he got a place at the Department of Prehistory and Archaeology. He is working at the application of GIS techniques to archaeology since 1990 and just for that is an activist of both FOSS and free geospatial data. Why should we pay twice for the same? His main focus is Landscape Archaeology (=Ecological Prehistory) and the development of new techniques [3] for managing the archaeological work from the field to the museums. He as others is claiming for the adoption of both standards and metadata what is not an easy task in Spain where several (+17) laws conflict with each other and we the European framework established by the INSPIRE directive..

CV summary. PhD for the University of Cantabria (1996), my PhD dissertation is based on the study of the prehistoric settlement in the western cantabrian valleys with special focus in the contact between hunters, gatherers and fishers and agriculturalists. After I got my PhD, I moved to the University of California, Berkeley where, funded by the Marcelino Botín Foundation, I did a four years post-doc stage at the Department of Anthropology and at the Archaeological Research Facility hosted by Prof. Margaret Conkey. In 2000, I won one of the bursaries funded by the Spanish government to incorporate back PhD researchers in the Spanish universities. Since them I'm working at the University of València where I'm currently the head of the Department of Prehistory, Archaeology and Ancient History. My main lines of research are: Landscape Archaeology (see 'Utilización de los recursos en la Marina y Montaña cantábricas: una prehistoria ecológica de los valles del Deva y Nansa', Guernica 1997), the cultural contact between the last communities of hunters-gatherers and the first agricultural communities both in the Cantabrian (http://www.aranzadi.eus/fileadmin/docs/Munibe/2004061078AA.pdf), and in the Mediterranean (https://doi.org/10.3989/tp.2003.v60.i2) regions and the application of New Technologies to the study of the archaeology, in which highlights the development of the Archaeological Information System called SIDGEIPA. In recent year my researcher and docent tasks focus on the application of the Geographical Information Systems to archaeology, with contributions like 'Viejas piedras Nuevas Tecnologías' (Illunzar 11) and the application of chemical research in the field of archaeology, I was advisor of Gianni Gallelo's PhD dissertation 'Western mediterranean archaeology. Chemical Element levels in archaological material ace to methodological tool' and of Alfredo Cortell Nicolau 'La evolución de la puntas de proyectil en la transición a las economías productores en el Este y Noreste de la Península Ibérica:implicaciones filogenéticas, culturales y sociales'. Both Dr. Cortell Nicolau and Dr. Gallello earned Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions. I have authored some papers with a high impact in the discipline like 'Archaeological assessment reveals Earth's early transformation through land use' (Stephens et al. 2019) and 'The genomic history of the Iberian Peninsula over the past 8000 years' (Olalde et al. 2019). The interest for the application of the ICT techniques to archaeology, in the management of sites 'Entorno 3D para el análisis y la recreación virtual de las actuaciones arqueológicas en Cueva de la Cocina (Dos Aguas, Valencia, España)'), at a regional level 'Patch-based survey methods for studying prehistoric human land-usein agriculturally modified landscapes: A case study from the Canal de Navarrés, eastern Spain' or at peninsular one 'A bayesian approach to timing the neolithization in Mediterranean Iberia', 'Timing the Western Mediterranean Last Hunter-Gatherers and First Farmers' and 'New insights into the neolithisation process in southwest Europe according to spatial density analysis from calibrated radiocarbon dates'). The international vocation has seen reflected in my engagement in a long-term project at the western Amazon valley with several publications like 'Preliminary results of the 2017 season in the amazonian earthen structures know as geoglyphs', or 'Conhecendo os Caminhos ou Trilhas dos Geoglifos Pré-colombianos sul Amazônicos'). Recently, I have edited two scientific books 'Arte, pensamiento simbólico y modos de vida en la Prehistoria' (2025) published by the University of Cantabria and 'Over Land and Sea. The Long-Distance Trade, Distribution, and Consumption of Ancient Greek Pottery' (2025) published by BAR International Series..
