Landscape-scale spatial variations of pre-Columbian anthropogenic disturbances at three ring ditch sites in French Guian...
In the past two decades, repeated discoveries of numerous geometric earthworks in interfluvial regions of Amazonia have shed new light onto the territorial extent and the long-term impact of pre-Columbian populations on contemporary landscapes. In particular, the recent development of LiDAR imagery has accelerated the discovery of earthworks in den...
The propulsion phase of spear-throwers and its implications for understanding prehistoric weaponry
peer reviewed / Understanding the appearance and evolution of prehistoric weaponry is a key topic in archaeological research. While stone or osseous projectile points are identified archaeologically based on damage patterns and other wear traces, identifying how these weapons were propelled requires a more thorough understanding of the ballistic be...
Exploring Variability in Residue Accumulation and Adhesion on Stone Tools from different Raw Materials: An Interdiscipli...
This study explores the variability in the accumulation and adhesion of residues on stone tools made from different raw materials, using a theoretical perspective grounded in tribology, metrology, and surface chemistry. The principles of surface science provide valuable insights into how micro and nano-level surface interactions affect residue beha...

Analysing Tool Efficiency: Use-Wear Patterns on Phthanite from Ottignies in Woodworking Activities
This study aims to document and compare trace formation and residue deposition on phtanite through an exploratory experimental investigation. The research focuses on phthanite from Ottignies, Belgium, a siliceous sedimentary rock also known as "black radiolarian cherts" or "lydite," primarily composed of microcrystalline quartz (Michel and Fairbrid...
