About
Dr. Annamaria Ronchitelli is a leading figure in Paleolithic archaeology and geoarchaeology, whose work bridges cutting-edge geomatic technologies with the study of prehistoric human behavior. Her research centers on site formation processes, lithic technology, and the application of remote sensing to heritage preservation. Notably, she spearheaded the innovative use of SLAM-based LiDAR and UAS technologies to evaluate rock slope stability at the iconic Grotta Paglicci site in Italy—a landmark study (2024, 8 citations) that demonstrates how modern engineering tools can safeguard irreplaceable Paleolithic deposits. This work exemplifies her broader contributions to understanding cave environments as dynamic archaeological archives. Dr. Ronchitelli’s impact is reflected in her extensive publication record, with numerous papers on faunal remains, lithic assemblages, and stratigraphic analyses that have shaped our knowledge of Italian prehistory. Her interdisciplinary approach—combining field archaeology with advanced hazard assessment—has set new standards for site conservation. For students and researchers, her career offers a compelling model of how technical innovation can deepen our grasp of ancient human lifeways while protecting our shared cultural heritage.
