Julieta Frère is a PhD fellow at the National Scientific and Technical Research Council (CONICET) and a doctoral candidate in Archaeology at the University of Buenos Aires (UBA). She holds a BA in Archaeology from UBA and her MA in Nautical and Underwater Archaeology from the University of Cádiz (Spain) supported by a Fundación Carolina scholarship. Her research focuses on 19th-century maritime trade networks in Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego (Argentina and Chile), particularly of British earthenware. She aims to foster ocean protection -from both cultural and environmental perspectives- through stories of past human-water relationships revealed by coastal and underwater heritage, such as shipwrecks, harbours, and cargoes. She is part of the teaching staff in the undergraduate seminar Research and Management in Maritime Archaeology at UBA. She has participated in projects documenting submerged archaeological sites in Uruguay, Spain, Italy, Greece, and Turkey. In 2025, she will join the Falkor (too) expedition “Visualizing the Deep off Uruguay,” to collaborate on identifying underwater cultural heritage.
