Use and Misuse of Machine Learning in Anthropology
Machine learning (ML), being now widely accessible to the research community at large, has fostered a proliferation of new and striking applications of these emergent mathematical techniques across a wide range of disciplines.
Using machine learning on new feature sets extracted from 3D models of broken animal bones to classify fragments according to break agent
Distinguishing agents of bone modification at paleoanthropological sites is at the root of much of the research directed at understanding early hominin exploitation of large animal resources and the effects those subsistence behaviors had on early hominin evolution.
The Batch Artifact Scanning Protocol: A new method using computed tomography (CT) to rapidly create three-dimensional models of objects from large collections en masse
Within anthropology, the use of three-dimensional (3D) imaging has become increasingly standard and widespread since it broadens the available avenues for addressing a wide range of key issues.
The Virtual Goniometer: A new method for measuring angles on 3D models of fragmentary bone and lithics
The contact goniometer is a commonly used tool in lithic and zooarchaeological analysis, despite suffering from a number of shortcomings due to the physical interaction between the measuring implement, the object being measured, and the individual taking the measurements.
Computation of Circular Area and Spherical Volume Invariants via Boundary Integrals
We show how to compute the circular area invariant of planar curves, and the spherical volume invariant of surfaces, in terms of line and surface integrals, respectively.
