Together with @OthmanEchcherif , we’re combining typo-technological data with use-wear analysis of MSA lithics from Bizmoune Cave!
The results are truly fascinating, more to come soon! 🔬
Exciting times at Sala Aïn Jenna #Chellah 2023! Proud to be part of the 100% Moroccan scientific team leading this project. My focus revolves around studying skeletal human remains from the Columbarium. 🌐🏛️ #moroccoarchaeology
