About

Ivan Calandra is the Head of IMPALA at the Leibniz-Zentrum für Archäologie in Germany. His research focuses on early human decision-making and technological practices, particularly in relation to stone tool performance and raw material selection. Recent articles coalesce around topics such as experimental use-wear studies, functional analyses of prehistoric artifacts, and the application of advanced digital methods in lithic analysis.
