About
Since the last few years I have focused my research towards the procurement of lithic raw materials and lithic technology of the late Middle and Upper Palaeolithic.
Currently I am developing the following projects:
- Refitting flint and quartzite assemblages of Terra do Manuel (Rio Maior, Portugal) as a means of understanding the phases of occupation of the open air site dated final Gravettian and terminal Gravettian, from a 2007 survey excavation and the excavations conducted by João Zilhão in 1988/89.
- Abiotic raw material procurement in Gruta da Oliveira (Torres Novas), with late Mousterian industries. A theme being developed for graduate degree at Science Faculty of Lisbon University.
