Abstract

Digital data constitute a rapidly increasing body of archaeological evidence, used on widely varying scales to capture and represent an equally wide range of subjects. Introducing an issue that presents recent digital applications in archaeology, this article considers particularly the challenges and prospects for analysis of digital models of stone tools, and surveys some of them in workflow sequence (acquisition, modeling, analysis, archiving). Using geomorphometric methods, lithic analysts now can characterize, measure and analyze stone tools in ways scarcely imaginable even a few years ago.
