Lithic Technology studies Paleolithic lithic artifacts. Through analytical methodologies, lithic assemblages are characterized in terms of technological and typological patterns, highlighting their technological sophistication and their implications regarding the technological behavior of hominins.

Geometric morphometrics, combined with the traditional study of lithic technology, has allowed the analysis of the lithic record on two complementary scales: inferring the processual nature of technology and highlighting the regional adaptations of prehistoric groups within the landscape.

The application of geometric morphometrics to the analysis of lithic tools using 3D models will allow us to investigate the emergence, management and evolution of concepts such as symmetry, standardization and mental templates over time. To achieve this, we will use specific software as well as statistical tools to facilitate the reading of the data.
