Thanks to Dr Jaroslav Řídký and his team for hosting me at the Institute of Archaeology of the Czech Academy of Science in Prague. It was a wonderful stay ended with a lecture about my research on #usewear #groundstonetools #plants #neolithic#SWAsia #RyC @iphes-cerca.bsky.social 🌱🔬
In Ardeche for the 11th International Conference of the Pre-Pottery Neolithic Chipped & Ground Stone Industries of the Near East presenting the the results on the use of ground stone tools to process pulses at Kharaysin (Jordan) 🌱🔬 @iphes-cerca.bsky.social @csic.es #archaeology #usewear #neolithic
🤖 Can #AI help #archaeologists identify how #stonetools were used?
#ICArEHB researchers A. Eleftheriadou, Y. Djellal, S.P. McPherron & J. Marreiros explore this with convolutional neural networks for #UseWear analysis.

The first article from my PhD results is now published — and it’s Open Access!
We show how handaxe grip and use evolved over time at La Noira (France).

New #OpenAccess paper: when did cereal agriculture adopt low harvesting?🧐 Our study traces the shift from high to low cereal cutting between 11,000 and 6,000 cal BC in SW Asia—a gradual yet transformative process that shaped the Mediterranean #agriculture 🌾🔬 #archaeology #usewear #confocal @csic.es
An informative poster detailing a session at a conference focusing on the study of obsidian in archaeology. The text emphasizes the significance of lithic industries in understanding past societies, highlighting obsidian as a key material for toolmaking in regions with volcanic rocks. It outlines the session’s aim to unite researchers specializing in various analytical methods, including technological, typological, and functional analyses of obsidian. Key themes include core reduction techniques, tool typology, experimental archaeology, use-wear studies, data standardization, and the material’s procurement and circulation. The goal is to foster interdisciplinary collaboration and broaden perspectives in lithic studies.
🌟Exciting News🌟 We are thrilled to announce that we are organizing a session on obsidian diffusion, technology and use at the 31st EAA Annual Meeting in Belgrade, Serbia 🇷🇸 (3-6 Sept. 2025)
