Soraya Sanchez serves as a Doctoral Assistant at the Institute of Archaeology and Ancient Sciences within the Faculty of Arts and Humanities at the University of Neuchâtel, actively contributing to research and teaching while pursuing her doctoral studies.
Her academic foundation includes:
- Bachelor's degree in archaeology, history and art history from the University of Neuchâtel
- Master's degree in Historical Sciences (specializing in ancient Mediterranean archaeology) from the University of Neuchâtel, completed in September 2022
Her research centers on Roman archaeology with deep specialization in mosaic studies, particularly examining the corpus of mosaics from the Conventus Gaditanus in southern Spain. With over a decade of hands-on excavation experience across Switzerland, France, Spain, and Tunisia, she integrates fieldwork expertise with public engagement through museum mediation. Her methodological focus spans thermal bath structures, Gallo-Roman sites, and cross-cultural material analysis in the ancient Mediterranean world.
As co-director of the course "Introduction to Methods of Archaeology of Historical Periods," she shapes pedagogical approaches while maintaining active involvement in regional archaeological associations. Her fieldwork portfolio demonstrates exceptional geographical breadth, including Courroux, Courtételle, Asuel, and Rochefort in Switzerland; Gergovie in France; Villaricos and Algéciras in Spain; and Zitha in Tunisia, establishing her as a versatile practitioner in Mediterranean archaeological traditions.
