Catalina Mas Florit is currently an Associate Professor of Archaeology in the Department of History and Archaeology at the University of Barcelona. Her research examines the transformation of landscapes with a particular interest in island systems and rural areas in the western Mediterranean. She co-directed or directed excavations in the building at the Ripoll street of Barcelona, the early Christian set of l'Illa del Rei (Mahon, Menorca) and the Roman villa at Sa Mesquida (Calvià, Mallorca). She is currently co-director of the excavations of the Roman and Late Antique city of Pollentia (Alcúdia, Mallorca).

‘Archaeology on the Balearic Islands has taken immense strides in the last two decades, led primarily by Miguel Angel Cau (including excavations at Pollentia), and with the present author now contributing strongly to new investigations and debates. This volume is part-based on her Barcelona University thesis of 2013, a subsequent postdoctoral project, and published and ongoing work on Mallorca. It offers a very informative and revealing image of rural settlement, land use and change across a long Late Antiquity (AD 300–903), with the end-date marking the full Arab conquest of this Byzantine enclave (after periods of raiding since the early 8th century).’ – Neil Christie (2022): Medieval Archaeology, 65/2, 2021
