Recent advancements in measurement technologies and their widespread use have lowered the barriers to acquiring three-dimensional morphological and texture data on archaeological artifacts.
Although such progress facilitates data acquisition and collection, quantitative analyses of 3D data are still limited in archaeology. In most cases, they rely on subjective assessments, simple measurements, and two-dimensional morphological analyses.
There is a significant gap given that archaeological artifacts exhibit complex three-dimensional morphological and textural variations.
In this project, I aim to establish a three-dimensional morphometric analysis method based on spherical harmonic functions to characterize morphological and textural features quantitatively. Moreover, I attempt to connect these quantitative characteristics to archeological insights.
