3D Scanning Protocols
The goal of these protocols is to allow archaeologists to effectively scan lithic artifacts using different 3D scanning methods. The StyroStone protocol deals with the digitization and post-processing of large batches of small-sized lithic artifacts using micro-computed tomography (micro-CT). The MicroStone protocol does instead present a detailed step-by-step pipeline to effectively scan lithics using the Artec Micro.

My research focuses on the earliest stages of the Upper Paleolithic. I am currently analyzing several Aurignacian sites in Italy to better frame the chrono-cultural development of this technocomplex and investigate the role of climate change in the evolution of stone tool technologies.
