Archaeology PhD student studying lithics from the Amazon basin.
Current research focuses on microliths, produced mostly from bipolar flaking, from Pocó-Açutuba (ca. 1000 BCE - 600 CE) settlements in the Lower Amazon, in the municipalities of Parintins (Amazonas state) and Óbidos (Pará state), Brazil. These microliths are related to the production of beads and pendants.
Currently developing an experimental program and a technological and traceological analysis of the archaeological material.
