“Snakes and Ladders” is not a game, but a model for how Stone Age people maintained their tools. From fresh edges (M0) to full rejuvenation (M4), each flake is a step on the ladder of technological decision-making. rdcu.be/eRutD

It will happen this week at the 7th Congress for Experimental Archaeology. This time organized by @traceolab.bsky.social I will present how we can use proxies to classify efficiency of Lithic Raw Materials. @humendylab.bsky.social @tracer-leiza.bsky.social @icarehb.bsky.social

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...
