Jared Carballo-Pérez is a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Ancient and Medieval Sciences at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, within the European research project “Re-thinking the Green Revolution in the Medieval Western Mediterranean (MEDGREENREV)”. He completed his Bachelor's degree in History in 2016 (Universidad de La Laguna), where he received the Extraordinary End of Degree Award, and later earned a Master's degree in Physical and Forensic Anthropology in 2017 (Universidad de Granada). In 2023, he finished his doctoral thesis in Bioarchaeology (Universidad de La Laguna), during which he conducted several research stays at the British Museum, the University of Cambridge, and Leiden University.
His main research lines focus on patterns of daily life, gender dynamics, and social agencies of various human groups across the Canary and Balearic Islands, the Iberian Peninsula, Morocco, Egypt, and Sudan.
Throughout his career, he has applied and developed a methodological set that analyzes bone markers of physical activity along with other historical and archaeological sources, allowing an understanding of how the social organization of labor and modes of subsistence culturally shaped the bodies of different agents in the past. In summary, he seeks to implement a biocultural perspective that broadens the understanding of the interactions between humans, objects, and archaeological landscapes.
