It has enabled the development of common research projects about Neanderthal and early Homo sapiens subsistence behaviours in Central and Eastern Europe. Through an interdisciplinary approach, our collaboration focuses on the valorisation of the Hungarian and French archaeological cultural heritage. The results of this collaborative research have been disseminated in conference papers and publications. Zsolt has also contributed significantly to animate and strengthen our network through common courses and workshops, the training and supervision of students and PhD candidates and, finally, by joining our MNHN research unit as an associate researcher.Englishhttps://doi.org/10.23898/litikumsi02a12
