Short biography
Javier Mangado Llach (Ph.D., 2002, Professor in Prehistory at the University of Barcelona since 2020) is a specialist in archaeopetrological characterisation of lithic raw material. He has been working for the last 20 years in Western Europe (Portugal, Spain and France) on analysing from an archaeopetrological point of view (micropaleontology and petrography) chert sources; and with that experience and knowledge, he has analysed archaeological lithic assemblages from many Solutrean and Magdalenian sites in Southern Europe. Recently his interests are turning to the mountain environments (Pyrenees) and last hunters-gatherers with a strong emphasis for defining and documenting strategies of lithic procurement through time in those specific regions. He has edited books or chapters of books, as well as, various articles on these topics.
