The first article from my PhD results is now published — and it’s Open Access!
We show how handaxe grip and use evolved over time at La Noira (France).

Use-Wear Analysis Shows Changing Handaxe Grip and Use Across Time at la Noira (France) - Journal of Paleolithic Archaeology
Handaxes — sub-oval bifacially flaked stone tools — were produced for over a million years across Africa, Europe, and Asia during the Lower Palaeolithic. Their relatively uniform shape across varied e...

In this study, we evaluate how accurately different molding compounds replicate lithic microtopography using confocal microscopy and ISO 25178 surface roughness parameters.

A very exciting first post here: the final paper from my dissertation as finally be published in Archaeological and Anthropological Sciences! We characterized the processes of lithic artifact weathering at the Semizbugu site complex in Central Kazakhstan. Check it out here 👉 rdcu.be/d8NvQ

This month we were honored to
Spend time with Prof. April Nowell, at the Department of prehistory @hebrewuniversity.bsky.social
She shared with us her ongoing research in Australia, Jordan and about Children in prehistory!
Thank you!

Ethiopian Highlands study examines stone tool decision-making process in early human history
An international study reveals how early humans, as far back as 1.5 million years ago, deliberately selected specific stones for their tools in the Ethiopian Highlands. The findings, published in the ...
