DESCRIPTION:_While ethnographic observations and experimental archaeology 
 provide valuable insights into the use of prehistoric artefacts\, the actu
 al data comes primarily from their microscopic analysis. The two main line
 s of research involved in the functional analysis of these artefacts\, tha
 t is\, the study of the wear features derived from their use and the searc
 h for use-related residues adhered to their surfaces\, are both supported 
 by detailed microscopic observation._\n\n_In this talk\, I round up severa
 l examples of work in progress and published by our research group\, to il
 lustrate the advantages of a multi-technical and multi-scale approach\, in
 cluding optical\, 3D digital\, scanning electron and confocal microscopy. 
 Both experimental and archaeological cases from the Early\, Middle\, and L
 ate Pleistocene are included._\n\n*To receive a Zoom link please register
