Research Interests
During my studies in humanities & life sciences, I developed a strong interest for Middle Pleistocene humans. My master’s internship gave me the opportunity to carry a descriptive study of a mainly neanderthal dental collection (morphological descriptions, taxonomical attributions and behavioral hypothesis on the toothpick grooving).
The aim of the current contract is to update a date base compiling all the archaeological sites that have yielded neanderthal skeletal remains, and thus according to various fields. It will also allow me to deepen and publish the research that I carried on the interproximal striations during my master’s internship.
