Mareike Stahlschmidt

archaeologist Austria

Mareike Stahlschmidt is a pyroarchaeologist at the University of Vienna who specializes in the study of ancient fire usage by early humans. While she acknowledges the potential significance of recent findings from Barnham, where evidence suggests repeated fire use by Neanderthals, she remains cautious and calls for further evidence to confirm the intentional creation of fire at the site. Stahlschmidt's work contributes to ongoing debates about the development of fire control among prehistoric populations.
