WoodTRACES investigates how ancient populations in the Canary Islands adapted woodworking technologies in the absence of metal tools. By analyzing preserved wooden artifacts and employing advanced methodologies, the project aims to enhance understanding of human innovation and resilience in isolated environments.
The Canary Islands were first settled approximately 2,000 years ago by Berber agropastoral groups from North Africa, remaining isolated in the archipelago until Europeans arrived in the 15th century CE.
These populations had to adapt to the local raw material availability, which lacked metal ores, and thus developed volcanic lithic technologies and woodcraft in an insular environment.
