Archaeocafé - Episode 2 - Revealing ancient lifestyles: An interview with Mariuca Vornicu

In this episode, I talk with Mariuca Vornicu about her work in revealing ancient lifestyles through the analysis of stone tools. We also discuss how archaeology and prehistory are portrayed in movies and in the news.


About Mariuca Vornicu


Dr. Vornicu is a researcher at the Institute of Archaeology of the Romanian Academy in Iasi, Romania. She is an archaeologist specialising in the lithic industries of post-Palaeolithic societies of south-eastern Europe. Her current research focuses on assessing the transformations of knapped stone technology throughout the Chalcolithic, in relation with the social and economic context of the time.
