I got my degree at Prehistory at the Complutense University of Madrid and a PhD in History in 2012 at that same university. Although my research was originally focused on Central Spain Iron Age, since 2006 I've been increasingly involved in African Archaeology with two main projects: the archaeological and environmental study of Oukaimeden valley (Morocco) directed by Dr. Marisa Ruiz-Gálvez (2008-2012), and the study of 16th century Jesuit churches in Northern Ethiopia (2006-2014), directed by Prof. Víctor M. Fernández. I currently work at the Department of Africa, Oceania and the Americas at the British Museum, where I catalogue and study 25,000 rock art photographs within the TARA’s Rock Art Image Project. My range of interests is wide, from the emergence of social inequalities in prehistoric societies to the use of statistics in Archaeology, the documentation and analysis of rock art and, in a broader sense, anything related to African history and culture. https://britishmuseum.academia.edu/JorgedeTorres http://www.britishmuseum.org/research/research_projects/all_current_projects/african_rock_art_image_project.aspx
