He is a Senior lecturer in Classical Archaeology at the Autonomous University of Barcelona.

He has published widely on these and other topics, and has been involved in many geophysics fieldwork projects in the Iberian peninsula. He is currently involved in excavations at the Roman castellum of Puig Castellar (Biosca), and the Roman cities of Iesso (Guissona), and Iulia Libica (Llívia).
Pieter Houten holds a BA in History and an MA in Ancient History, both from Utrecht University, and a PhD in Ancient History from Leiden University. His work focusses on social processes such as urbanisation and Latinization in the Roman west, combining archaeological, epigraphic, and historical sources to obtain a clearer picture of these and other social processes using Geographic Information Systems. Within the ATLAS-project (www.atlas-cities.com) at Universität Hamburg he researches the Late Antique cities of Southern Spain and Tunisia. For the LatinNow project (www.latinnow.eu) at the University of Nottingham he studies the spread of Latin during the Imperial period, especially those who learned to speak and write Latin as a second language next to the palaeohispanic languages. His PhD-research on urban settlement on the Iberian Peninsula during the Early Empire has been published as Urbanisation in Roman Spain and Portugal (2021).
