Summary
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.
An investigation of over 300 images of contracting stem points from Nevada, Utah, and western Colorado was carried out using geometric morphometrics (GMM) techniques. The GMM analysis used over 150 landmarks on each of the 2D images. Examination of the principal components and landmarks with respect to geographic occurrence indicate these points changed shape across the geographical region studied. In addition, the dendrogram and clustering results may inform the interaction of the peoples across this region during the Middle Archaic.
