Joined June 2019
Our new article is out ‼️.We explored how post-depositional surface modifications (PDSM) affect the preservation of use-wear on obsidian and volcanic stone tools from two coastal sites in Gran Canaria 🪨🔬🌴 .@ulpgcresearch @DUlpgc

The results show how sand impacts surfaces differently, depending on the rock type and sediment characteristics. 🌊🪨.
