Research Abstract

This study seeks to elucidate quantifiable measures of variable human learning strategies and idiosyncratic variance in prehistoric pottery communities in Japan. No international or domestic studies have been able to accurately quantify learning strategies utilizing complex statistical or 3D methodology until this study. To do so, this study utilizes a newly developed geometric morphometric statistical package developed in R, and novel 3D technologies. A case study of the Yayoi and Kofun periods of Japan will be compared to modern ethnographic evidence in both Japan and other countries.
