It will happen this week at the 7th Congress for Experimental Archaeology. This time organized by @traceolab.bsky.social
I will present how we can use proxies to classify efficiency of Lithic Raw Materials. @humendylab.bsky.social @tracer-leiza.bsky.social @icarehb.bsky.social

Did you ever ask why people used so many different rocks in their tasks?
If you had this question in your mind, go and check my new paper with my colleagues. dx.plos.org/10.1371/jour...

My first paper of the PhD is out, we talk about Mobility and lithic technology at Ararat-1 Cave in Armenia. We also talk a bit about 👻 tools. Are you curious? Go and check it out! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

PRE-PRINT OUT! 🚨
My first paper of the PhD is out as a pre-print go there and comment 😁. www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-6...

My friend and colleague @yannismicrooikon.bsky.social just published this amazing multi-proxy work about Ararat-1 Cave. Congratulations 🎉 @humendylab.bsky.social
