My PhD project is titled “The use of teeth as high-resolution proxy in the study of microwear and taphonomy”. This research focuses on understanding the effect of the taphonomic processes on the dental occlusal surface. It will developed several experimental studies to simulate and reproduce in vitro taphonomic agents. The data obtained will be analysed using a high-resolution approach to contribute and improve the microwear studies and paleodietary reconstructions in archaeological sites.
