Cross-sectional geometry and taphonomic surface alteration: An exploratory approach to data reliability
Cross-sectional geometry is a useful tool for assessing robustness and mechanical constraints related to locomotion or specific activities. It is frequently applied to archaeological collections, which, however, may exhibit taphonomic surface alterations. In this study, we aimed to determine to wha...

| Izvleček: | Cross-sectional geometry is a useful tool for assessing robustness and mechanical constraints related to locomotion or specific activities. It is frequently applied to archaeological collections, which, however, may exhibit taphonomic surface alterations. In this study, we aimed to determine to what extent such altered bones remain suitable for this type of analysis. To do so, we CT-scanned 19 humeri to create three groups: a reference group, a group with material removed (simulating root et... |
