University Lecturer Girona, 1959. Prehistorian and palaeontologist. He read History and Geology at the Autonomous University of Barcelona and was awarded a Doctorate by the University of Girona in 1994. His research has mainly dealt with the study of the Middle and Upper Palaeolithic periods, along with quaternary fauna in the northeast of Catalonia. In particular he has focused on the time of extinction of the Neanderthals and their replacement by modern humans; he is currently coordinating an interuniversity project to establish the chronology of this process in the northern half of the Iberian peninsula. He has participated in directing several excavation campaigns, mainly at the Ermitons Caves (Sales de Llierca), l’Arbreda (Serinyà), Mollet (Serinyà) and at the Palaeolithic settlement of Incarcal (Crespià). He has also worked on the Neanderthal mandible of Banyoles. He promoted and produced the project for the Serinyà Prehistoric Caves Park.
