Ancient Technology

I am Brazilian, born in the state of Rio de Janeiro. I have a degree in Dance Theory from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro and I am currently a master's student in Archaeology at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro - National Museum.

I’m an archaeologist, currently working at the Traceology and Controlled Experiments (TraCEr) lab, MONREPOS, Archaeological Research Centre and Museum for Human Behavioural Evolution, RGZM. I'm interested how past human populations during the Pleistocene used their stone tools.
