Alberto García Piquer is an archaeologist and postdoctoral researcher at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona in Spain. Since 2018, he has participated in and promoted various archaeological projects in the Última Esperanza region, Magallanes, Chile. His research focuses on the study of landscape and social space in prehistoric and historic hunter-gatherer societies, particularly in maritime and coastal environments. In recent years, he has developed a particular interest in recovering and understanding the role of navigation and nautical technology as a central element in shaping social and environmental relationships, as well as worldviews, in the past and present of Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego, drawing on multiple sources and approaches. He recently edited the book The Archaeology of Seafaring in Small-Scale Societies: Negotiating Watery Worlds (University of Florida Press, 2025).
