Research

Lasse van den Dikkenberg’s PhD research focusses on flint object biographies from the Dutch Vlaardingen Culture (3400-2500 BC). The study will deal with the variability of flint, potential sources of raw materials and associated networks. Furthermore, it examines choices related to manufacturing and use of flint objects, through micro-wear analyses. The research is part of the project Putting life into Late Neolithic houses: investigating domestic craft and subsistence activities through experiments and material analysis.
