Giulia Marciani

Archaeologist specialised in the study of lithic artefacts. She is skilled in studying lithic tools, using different methods, i.e. typology, technology, Raw Material Units as well as techno-functional and refitting analysis. She is convinced that thanks to the application of combined method we gain a comprehensive view on techno-cultural behaviours, as we are able to understand and describe not only the production of the lithic objects but also the human reality out of which they were created.

Her research aims to interpret the variations of the last Neanderthals and the Anatomically Modern Humans stone tools through the analyses of lithic assemblages referable to the Middle to Upper Palaeolithic Transition. Giulia is currently a Junior Assistant Professor at the Department of Cultural Heritage, University of Bologna. Go to the Curriculum vitae
