Main Publications on Lapa do Anecrial available on line

Just Uploaded some of my main publications on Lapa do Anecrial (including my PhD Dissertation) to my academia.edu account. There you can find some of the advantages that lithic refitting brought to the interpretation of the site. Comments welcome!

And of course I would have to start by the first of the first. The Grey Flint block from the cave site of Lapa do Anecrial... My first reconstruction, back in 1992. Photo by José Paulo Ruas (Instituto Português de Arqueologia)
Well,

Sometime I would have to finally do it and the time has come. On this 9th of April I am starting my Lithic Refitting blog. Although time is something that I barely have, I will try to post here some of my thougths on a relatively regular basis. The subject, of course, is lithic refitting and what it can tell us about past human behaviour.


Cheers and welcome!
