About this event
Join Alex Nyers, MA, RPA (Northwest Research Obsidian Studies Laboratory and Oregon State University) for this lecture on 3D scanning, morphometrics, and obsidian sourcing. Learn how high-throughput 3D scanning and the GLiMR-Biface application extract measurable 3D data from projectile points to support complex shape analyses.
In part two, Alex will discuss obsidian sourcing using EDXRF and demonstrate how artifacts can be traced to geologic sources across the West. He will also introduce a new GIS application designed for mapping and querying sourced obsidian data.
