Eduardo Paixão
Hello and welcome to my personal website! My name is Eduardo Paixão, I’m an Archaeologist currently developing my research at the ICArEHB, Interdisciplinary Center for Archaeology and Evolution of Human Behaviour, University of Algarve, Portugal (http://www.icarehb.com/), and at the Laboratory for Traceology and Controlled Experiments (TraCEr) lab at MONREPOS, Archaeological Research Centre and Museum for Human Behavioural Evolution, RGZM (https://web.rgzm.de/), in Germany (https://monrepos.rgzm.de/en/tracer/?).
Currently, my main research topics are focused on functional analyses of stone tools as the bridge to explore the dynamics and behaviours during prehistory, and in the development of new analytical approaches. I have been collaborating with several projects in Europe, Asia and Africa. In this website, you can find updates about my research and other materials such as methodological tutorials, news and other content related to archaeology, including field and lab work.
