  Fabio Silva is currently a Marie-Skłodowska-Curie Fellow at the Instititut Català de Paleoecologia Humana i Evolució Social (IPHES) in Spain and a tutor in the Sophia Centre for the Study of Cosmology in Culture (University of Wales Trinity Saint David, UK), where he is responsible for a postgraduate taught module titled 'Skyscapes, Cosmology and Archaeology'. His current research interests focus on how humans perceive their environment (skyscape and landscape) and use that knowledge to time and adjust their social and productive behaviours. His archaeoastronomical research has mostly focused on Neolithic Portugal, though he has also done fieldwork in the United Kingdom and Malta. His books include "Skyscapes: The Role and Importance of the Sky in Archaeology" (edited with Nick Campion, Oxbow Books, 2015). He has received the Fifth Carlos Jaschek Award from the European Society for Astronomy in Culture (SEAC) in 2016.
