Selene Rodríguez Caraballo was born in Arrecife in 1996 and has spent six years on a PhD about childhood in the Aboriginal societies of the western islands. She studied History at La Laguna, did a master's in physical anthropology in Granada and has excavated in Lanzarote, Tenerife and Argentina.
As well as research, she runs school workshops and gives talks across the islands, and has launched a social media project, "Bienvenidas al antro", where she debunks archaeology myths and tells the stories of women who shaped the field. Her message is simple: archaeology is about method, not treasure hunting like Indiana Jones.
If you're curious, she has two free workshops with the Canary Institute for Cultural Development: in Haría on 15 November and in Tiagua on 22 November.
