Brief CV
Belisa Tarín Mora holds a degree in Tourism from the Universitat de València (2020) and a degree in Archaeology from the University of Jaén (2024), with a strong academic background supported by records of academic excellence and several distinctions. During her studies in Archaeology, she actively participated in archaeological excavations, surface surveys, and metal‑detector micro‑prospection within the framework of the R&D project Iliturgi Gens. Conflict, Post‑war, and Social Changes in the Landscape, aimed at analysing the impact of the Second Punic War and the processes of social and territorial transformation resulting from the Roman conquest of the Upper Guadalquivir. In 2022, she attended the Curs d’Arqueologia Cristiana i Visigoda as a student, which marked her first engagement with the study of Late Antiquity in the Valencian region. Her Bachelor’s thesis focused on the evolution and transformation of the territories and cities of Valentia, Edeta, and Saguntum between the 2nd and 8th centuries AD.
She has extensive fieldwork experience in archaeology, acquired since 2021 through continuous involvement as both assistant and technician in archaeological excavations and survey campaigns at sites dating from Late Antique, Iberian, Imperial Roman, Etruscan, and contemporary periods. This experience has been gained in both national and international contexts, within research projects and archaeological interventions carried out by universities, public administrations, and specialised companies.
In the academic year 2024–2025, she completed the Interuniversity Master’s Degree in Applied Classical Archaeology. Research and Knowledge Transfer (URV–UAB–ICAC), in which she was awarded the Extraordinary Master’s Degree Award. Her Master’s Thesis, entitled València la Vella in the context of the Diocese of Valentia: research strategies for its historical and territorial understanding, consolidated her research trajectory towards the study of territory and Late Antique archaeology, integrating historical, archaeological, and territorial approaches.
Since 1 December 2025, she has held a predoctoral contract under the Spanish University Teacher Training Programme (FPU2024), a competitive fellowship funded by the Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities. Within this framework, she is developing her doctoral thesis (2025–2029), entitled From territoria to diocese: a diachronic analysis of the Valencian territory (3rd–8th centuries AD), which focuses on the historical and territorial analysis of the Valencian region during Late Antiquity. The research is being carried out at the Institut Català d’Arqueologia Clàssica (ICAC) under the supervision of Dr Josep Maria Macias Solé (ICAC), Dr Josep Torró Abad (University of Valencia), and Dr Arnau Garcia Molsosa (ICAC). She is a member of the research group Christian Archaeology and Late Antiquity.
