| Report | From May 7th to May 28th of 2023, I was able to spend my first IRB-funded research stay in Sardinia. With permission of the archaeological superintendence, it was possible to document archaeological finds from the archive of Museo Archeologico Villa Sulcis in Carbonia. Most of these finds are stone tools attributed to the locality of Su Fossu Tundu and have received little attention in research so far. In addition to the detailed documentation of these objects – that could provide vital information about prehistoric resource procurement techniques in south-western Sardinia – I have taken the opportunity to meet local scientists and thereby expand my own research network. After visits to Prof. Paolo Valera at the Geology Faculty of the University of Cagliari and to Dr. Carla Perra – director of the Sistema Museale di Carbonia (SiMuC) and the excavation of the Nuraghe Sirai – there are now opportunities for a guest residency at the University of Cagliari as well as access to further archaeological find complexes that would be very beneficial for my personal research. |
