She is Graduate (1998) and Doctor in History (2005) by the Universitat de Valencia (Spain) (with an area of expertise in Prehistory and Archaeology), where she was awarded with the Doctorate Extraordinary Award in 2006. Her research in Australia focuses on the territorial and social aspects of Indigenous rock art from Arnhem Land. In Spain she focuses on style and digital recording of Levantine rock art. Danae Fiore is a full-time researcher at CONICET (National Council of Scientific Research, Argentina), and a part-time lecturer at UBA (Universidad de Buenos Aires).

She completed an MA and a PhD in Archaeology at University College London and published several papers in peer-reviewed journals in Mexico, Spain, Argentina, Great Britain, Italy, Chile, and the United States. She has recently co-edited (with M.M. Podesta) a book on rock art production and uses: ""Tramas en la Piedra. Produccion y usos del arte rupestre"" (jointly published by WAC and AINA, 2006). Her current research topics relate to decoration of bone artefacts from sites from Tierra del Fuego and rock art techniques and motifs in Patagonia. Sally K.
