Did you ever ask why people used so many different rocks in their tasks?
If you had this question in your mind, go and check my new paper with my colleagues. dx.plos.org/10.1371/jour...

My first paper of the PhD is out, we talk about Mobility and lithic technology at Ararat-1 Cave in Armenia. We also talk a bit about 👻 tools. Are you curious? Go and check it out! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

New paper out with Radu Iovita in PLOS One modeling potential routes of dispersal for Neanderthals moving from the Caucasus Mountains to the Altai Mountains after MIS 6
