He has been active as a field archaeologist for decades and has directed, among others, the excavations of Cancho Roano. He has published abundantly on Iberian porto-history and archaeology, and Tartessos in particular. Among his books are Cancho Roano (2001, Madrid), Estelas de guerrero y estelas diademadas: la precolonizacion y la formacion del mundo tartesico (2001, Barcelona), and Tarteso: Un viaje a los confines del mundo antiguo (Trebled, 2014), and the coedited volumes on El periodo orientalizante (2 vols., 2005, Merida) and Contacto cultural entre el Mediterraneo y el Atlantico (siglos XII-VIII and). La precolonizacion a debate (2008, Madrid). Carolina Lopez-Ruiz is Associate Professor of Classics at The Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio. She has published articles on Greek and Near Eastern literatures and mythology and topics related to the Phoenician presence in the western Mediterranean. She is the co-editor of Colonial Encounters in Ancient Iberia: Phoenician, Greek, and Indigenous Relations (2009, Chicago, with Michael Dietler) and the author of When the Gods Were Born: Greek Cosmogonies and the Near East (2010, Cambridge, MA). Her recently edited book Gods, Heroes, and Monsters: A Sourcebook of Greek, Roman, and Near Eastern Myths in Translation (Oxford 2014) challenges the traditional view of the classics by situating Greek and Roman mythology in its broader Mediterranean context. She is the co-editor (with Brian Doak) of the Oxford Handbook of the Phoenician and Punic Mediterranean (in preparation).
