Together with my colleague Othman Echcherif, we’re combining typo-technological data with use-wear analysis of MSA lithics from Bizmoune Cave, Central western Morocco!
The results are truly fascinating, more to come soon! πŸ”¬

We were thrilled to organize the seminar Traceology II: Introduction to Theory and Methods in Archaeological Research. The sessions combined theory with hands-on lithic analysis, offering an overview of traceological methods and relevance to archaeological research. Many thanks to all participants!
