Research Interests
I specialize in the study of osseous technology unearthed from Pleistocene contexts in the Old World. My research documents how these technologies were integrated in past cultural adaptive systems and how they interacted with other components of material culture. I am particularly interested to highlighting how this proxy can inform us on cultural evolution dynamics in general, and on the social and technological organization of hunter-gatherer populations in particular. Methodologically, I combine technological analysis and experimental archaeology with various imaging methods and microscopic analyses (multifocus, confocal, SEM, µCT-scan), as well as chemical characterization of micro-residues analysis, multivariate and spatial analyses.
