SUMMARY:Another step on geometric morphometrics: applications on material 
 culture - Dr Alfredo Cortell-Nicolau\, University of Cambridge

CONTACT:Rosie Crawford
DESCRIPTION:Geometric morphometrics is a specific technique used to learn 
 on spatial and temporal variability of specific shapes. Originally develop
 ed within the realm of Biology\, archaeologists have by now widely adopted
  it to infer on material culture patterns. However\, the application of th
 e technique for the analysis of material culture is not always straightfor
 ward and comes with its very own challenges and caveats.\n\nIn this talk\,
  the most common procedures and applications of the technique will be revi
 ewed\, including what are the specific problems derived from its applicati
 on on anthropogenic material. Additionally\, some examples will be offered
  on how can we bring this technique forward\, diversify its uses and integ
 rate it into broader research questions\, so that we can develop further i
 ts great potential.\n\n*This event is in person\, but will be streamed at:
