He has gone beyond conventional archaeological practices and actively involved the local community in safeguarding and celebrating their shared heritage. He has thus become a source of inspiration for many.

His support for teamwork and collaboration has been instrumental in his success, bringing together professionals and creating a cohesive team that remains rooted in Mértola. |
