Research interests
My research interests are diverse, reaching from general mammalian palaeobiology and palaeoanthropology into almost all topics of bone and dental analyses. In 2001 I have established at SF a virtual imaging lab for 3D-digitalization, editing, reconstruction and morphometrics of vertebrate hard tissue. The focus of my research lays on the structure and function of teeth with a main attention on evolutionary development, dietary and cultural adaptations in the masticatory system. A number of my national and international research projects funded by the DFG (e.g. DFG-FOR771) and the EU (EU-MRTN-CT-2005-019564) have led to the development of the well-known Occlusal Fingerprint Analysis (OFA).
- Evolution and function of teeth and bone in mammals
- Virtual 3D methods in mammalian paleontology
- Evolution of humans

Current Research
Microscopy for Chronology: Usewear Analysis and Lithic Technology in Island Southeast Asia
This project focuses on inferring prehistoric activities through the identification of microscopic traces on the surfaces of stone tools – the subdiscipline called use-wear analysis or traceology. Our goal was to create a database of microscopic traces formed through controlled experiments. Eventually, the experimental work will be compared with traces on archaeological stone tools From Island Southeast Asia (ISEA). One distinct type of trace that was identified in several assemblages from cave sites in ISEA points to prehistoric plant processing, mainly grass species. In the context of ethnographic and experimental data on stone tool use, these traces are interpreted as results of bamboo working. Thus, bamboo was the main contact material for our initial experiments conducted at the Laboratory for Traceology and Controlled Experiments (TraCEr) of the Leibniz-Zentrum für Archäologie (LEIZA) and Imaging Platform at LEIZA (IMPALA) in Monrepos, Neuwied, Germany. Together with LEIZA TraCEr, we were able to export the bamboo from the Philippines to Germany and experimental stone tools for experiment, set up the protocol, and conduct the analysis for the quantification of microscopic traces on stone tools. Most plant polishes on archaeological tools in the region were interpreted to have been results of processing a plant species that is rich in silica and belongs to the grass family, mainly bamboo. Incidentally, ethnographic data also shows the role of bamboo in the manufacture of items for daily use. Overall, this project explores the latest techniques in traceology with the use of controlled experiments, 3D scanning, and laser scanning confocal microscopy to address the absence of recurring lithic technology as a chronological marker for Southeast Asia. We intend to fill the gap in our understanding of prehistoric activities in the region and to establish chronology on the first appearance or development of technologies beyond stone tools.
Research interests
Prehistoric archaeology, human evolution, prehistoric migration and island adaptation, stone tool technology, lithic use-wear analysis, Southeast Asian prehistory.

DFG-Projekt: ‘Plant environment and resource exploitation in SW Ethiopia >50 ka to the present’
DFG-Nr NE 408/16-1, 2021-2024. PIs: Katharina Neumann und Karen Hahn.The highlands of southern Ethiopia, covered largely with Afromontane forest, are a focal area for the prehistory of modern humans. During arid periods, they could have served as a nexus within a refugium network, with easy access to lowland rivers, the Rift Valley lakes, and to the Afroalpine zone. The project focuses on the reconstruction of palaeovegetation and the potential of edible plant resources under changing climatic conditions through the Late Pleistocene and Holocene. Palaeoenvironmental proxies are wood charcoal, phytoliths and ẟ13C isotopes from archaeological sites, in combination with modeling and ethnobotanical data.
