@DrPardi It recognizes Paul Martin’s overkill or wave-of-advance hypothesis for humans (Clovis) driving North American megafauna to extinction. Tho now it seems most likely that folks were here 2,000+ years before Clovis, and climate depleted megafauna populations that humans finished off

I have a serious question for archeologists who continue to use the word "overkill" in reference to terminal Pleistocene extinctions: what do you think that word means?

@BrownJamW If you’re just measuring edge length, ImageJ will work great. If you’re wanting to do gm on the shape of serrations themselves, email and I’ll send you an example of how we approached it when thinking about convergent cultural evolution

Hey #archaeology anyone know of a guide to doing geometric morphometrics on projectile points?
