Philip R. Nigst visited the Institut of Archaeology in Iasi to discuss research and fieldwork at Mitoc-Malu Galben.

From 22 to 25 May Philip R. Nigst visited the Institut of Archaeology in Iasi to discuss research and fieldwork at Mitoc-Malu Galben. He (and his colleagues Prof. Pierre Noiret and Tim Libois from the University of Liege, Belgium) were hosted by Cristina Cordos. As part of the research stay we looked at lithic materials from the 1990s excavations and our 2013-2016 fieldwork at Mitoc-Malu Galben, including amazing refitted sequences (analysis T. Libois).
