The identification of consistent transportation wear is one of the most significant unforeseen results of LiMPH, which required dedicated experimentation and methodological development. Because of the wide possibility of application of this methodology to the entire prehistoric period, this result has a wide exploitation potential through dedicated papers and other colleagues interested in applying this methodology. These data have already been presented with very positive feedback at two International Conferences.
Also, identifying fish-processing use-wear traces at one of the studied sites represents a significant result, as this type of use-wear is very difficult to be identified at an archaeological level.
Finally, data concerning the single studied assemblages are abundant and will undoubtedly be exploited in the near future to prepare monographic works and dedicated papers.
