I am not sure what the question is exactly? If you are wondering in
which order to digitise the landmarks it is irrelevant unless you are
comparing your landmarks to those of another dataset. As long as you
always digitise them in the same order for each specimen in your own
dataset you will be fine. Just select the order you feel most
comfortable with.
Harvati is on this maling list so hopefully she will get in touch with
you when she sees your post.
All the best,
Una

Subject: Landmark sequence for human mandibles

I am studying the effects of diet on the morphology of the mandible in
primate species. I am using selected landmarks from a study by Nicholson
& Harvati (2006) "Quantitative Analysis of Human Mandibular Shape Using
three-dimensional Geometric Morphometrics". I am new to field of
geometric morphometrics and do not know the proper sequence of the
landmark coordinates. The article lists 16 landmarks, 4 of which are
along the midsaggital plane. There is a total of 28 landmarks with 12
homologous pairs.
I attempted to contact the authors but have had no luck. The email ends
up failing due to some server issues.
Thanks for any help you can give
Sincerely,
Daniel Arrañaga
