The Artifact Geomorph Toolbox 3D software is designed to provide the archaeologist interested in artifact shape variability with a toolbox to allow the acquisition, analysis and results exploration of homologous 3D landmark-based geometric morphometric data. As such, the toolbox contains an automated item and semi-landmarks positioning procedure and the fundamental statistical analyses and procedures to allow the processing and analysis of the data. It is designed to be easy to use and straightforward with a simple graphical user interface. Furthermore, it provides direct, quantitative and objective results to answer common archaeological research questions with regards to artifact shape variability.
