Guillaume Robin

My research focuses on Neolithic art and monumentality, from the engraved megaliths of Atlantic Europe (Ireland, Britain and West France) to the painted and sculpted rock-cut tombs of the Central Mediterranean (esp. Sardinia). Combining computer techniques and theoretical approaches, my principal aim is to understand the social use of tomb art, from death rituals to strategies of social demonstration, and its relationships to social change over the Neolithic period.
