Archaeology8.1 - Specific domains of research
Prehistory (Palaeolithic and Mesolithic). Environmental Archaeology. Geoarchaeology. Landscape Archaeology.
In the area of prehistoric research my interests are focused on lithic technological studies, raw materials and settlement patterns of palaeolithic and mesolithic communities.
In the domain of Environmental and Landscape Archaeology studies my research interests are focused on paleoenvironmental reconstruction (physical environments) and human settlement strategies. In the more specific area of Geoarchaeology, my research interests are focused on the study of depositional sedimentary
environments, either natural (fluvial, mountain and coastal) or anthropic (urban archaeology).
