Hi all, I'm pretty new to the morphometrics realm, and was hoping that I could get some feedback on the approach that we developed to analyze archaeologically-recovered ceramics (see that here - http://wp.me/p41HMA-xg). We're finding the toughest challenge to be outlining a process through which the location of landmarks and semi-landmarks can be replicated; but I do think that we're close. Keep in mind that this is more of a consensus configuration aimed at demarcating shape variation across the entirety of an assemblage. Once subsets are defined, we can begin to develop more group-specific locations. That said, there is, no doubt, plenty of room for improvement...but it's a start.

These now include a small change prompted by Andrea Cardini to make them more compatible with older versions of Windows (such as WinXP). As needed, I will update some of the other tps programs. ---------------------- F.
