Natalie Uomini

Paper long abstract:
This paper will present a model of complexity based on stone tool production and use throughout prehistory. Complexity is often mentioned in archaeology, anthropology, and evolutionary psychology but there is no consensus on its definition. By drawing on definitions from different disciplines, the role of complexity in the evolution of our species will be explored with a special focus on markers of complexity in lithic production and use.
