DESCRIPTION OF RESEARCH ACTIVITIES I am a geoscience researcher specialized in archaeometry (dendrochronology and high-precision radiocarbon dating for the investigation of fine-tuned interactions between Humans, Environments and Climate Changes over the Late Glacial and Holocene). The main research lines include:  Paleoenvironment and Paleoclimate reconstruction. I use dendrochronological and isotopic analysis of tree-ring sequences from subfossil trunks in order to study the paleoclimate and the forest paleoecology. Moreover, I use dendrotypology for studying the woodland management of ancient lake-dwelling populations by analyzing the archaeological woods. The reconstruction of paleoenvironment can be made by analyzing lake sediment cores. I perform the 14C dating of organic samples discovered in lake sediment cores and build age models that, coupled with the XRF analysis, allows the chronological reconstruction of environmental modification.

 Dating of archaeological woods and settlements. 14C analysis allows the absolute dating of organic (sometimes also inorganic, e.g. shells or mortars) materials, which is especially important in prehistoric time. The dating of wood can be improved by associating 14C and dendrochronological analyses: the wiggle-matching model permits to obtain a more precise dating. I work in the dating and interpretation of archaeological contexts and I focalized my research on the high-resolution dating of tree-ring sequences.

 14C Calibration Curve. Because the atmospheric 14C/12C ratio varies with time, to calculate accurate ages, the atmospheric 14C fluctuations must be corrected for using a calibration curve obtained by comparing raw 14C data with true calendar ages derived from independent dating methods. One of this method is dendrochronology, which give the highest precise resolution. I work on the improving of calibration curve by using subfossil trees and I participated to the last update of the IntCal 2020 calibration curve (Reimer et al, including Capano, 2020).

TECHNICAL SKILL AND COMPETENCES  Dendrochronological analysis: tree sampling, measurements and data analysis.  14C analysis: preparation of all kind of materials (chemical pretreatments, combustion, and graphitization) and data analysis.  Realization of cryogenic lines for combustion and graphitization of material for 14C analysis.  Use of fire blowpipe for sealing quartz and Pyrex tubes.  Use of microscope for wood anatomy study.  Sample preparation for stable isotope analysis.
