Abstract
  • There is currently a revolution in archaeological morphometric research. As advances in technology are making more in-depth analyses both time and cost efficient. In this work, a collection of artifacts from the Pilcher Creek site (35UN147) in eastern Oregon was digitized using high resolution three-dimensional scanning. These scans were then processed through GLiMR (GIS-based Lithic Morphometric Research) to generate a large set of morphometric data. This data was then examined to look for any significant uniformity or variation within different artifact classifications. Comparisons were then made to an assemblage of artifacts from the nearby Cooper’s Ferry site (10IH73). This morphometric data, along with the high resolution three-dimensional scans, can enhance a variety of future archaeological research, especially as assemblages from other sites become digitized, leading to a better understanding of how artifact morphometric patterns may change across both time and space.
