This paper and its accompanying evaluation material introduces an application
that clearly has a significant zooarchaeological potential. However it is
not presented as the final solution and the author recognises that there
is further development work required, both to get the basic application fully
operational and to explore its breadth of potential for examining and analysing
data that is essentially graphic in nature. Not least is the creation of
the basic image templates to establish the foundation for recording as well
as any other developments that may arise from this approach to handling graphical
data.
One important aspect of any computer application is its testing and refinement
under "field" conditions. Although the author has undertaken tests using
small and experimental assemblages that have been available, there is a need
to challenge the approach so that its limits may be determined and to identify
particular requirements or areas of further development. The author therefore
invites comment and suggestions on the content of this presentation and
evaluation material or suggestions for opportunities to apply its use to
a large archaeological assemblage.
