TEMPORAL TRENDS IN THE MORPHOMETRIC VARIATION OF THE LITHIC PROJECTILE POINTS DURING THE MIDDLE

Abstract: The focus of this paper is to discuss theoretical and methodological issues regarding the study of artifact's morphometric variation, which to some extent can be considered as an outcome of three interrelated dimensions: a) prior history (heredability of a particular shape), b) adaptation to proximate requirements and c) design constraints (architectural restrictions). The methodology proposed here, is based on the application of metrical and non metrical techniques, as geometric morphometrics. The last one, and the principal focus of this paper, allows us to perform shape and form analysis, treating these two variables independently one from the other. Based from the analysis of a small sample of middle Holocene projectiles lithiqués from the South Andes (Puna), we discuss here the potentials and limitations of the phylogenetic analysis over morphometric data. The results of this analysis suggest
that while some basic traits of the form and shape have changed in different ways through time, other have tended to endure.

Southeast Asian Gateway Evolution

14-17 September 2009
Royal Holloway University of London

An international multidisciplinary meeting focusing on the history and biological diversity (past, present and future) of SE Asia.
This will be a three-day multidisciplinary meeting to discuss this important region with an emphasis on reporting new ideas and exchanging views between a wide range of Earth and Life Scientists. It will promote interaction between Earth and Life Scientists working in the region. The programme will include plenary sessions, overview presentations, and breakouts for specialist groups. We seek contributions on all geological and biological aspects of the Southeast Asian Gateway, the region including Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Indochina, New Guinea and the NW Shelf of Australia.

Contacts

The meeting is organised jointly by the SE Asia Research Group at Royal Holloway University of London, and the Natural History Museum, London.
