Impact of taphonomic surface alterations of bone on geometric morphometrics analyses

Résumé fourni par la source

Taphonomic alterations on bioarchaeological remains are common and can have a major impact on osteological collections. During geometric morphometrics analyses, the bones used may be more or less well preserved and may limit feasible studies. We investigated the impact of taphonomic surface alterations on bone shape studies. To this end, we scanned by microtomography 19 humeri from the La Granède site (a medieval funerary complex in Millau, 12) in an excellent state of preservation. We virtu...
