Fishboneviz: Developing a best-practice methodology for fish CT scan segmentation and an associated open access 3D virtual bone database to support ichthyoarchaeological research and teaching efforts globally (Old ID 27831)
Role
Principal Investigator
Description
Fish remains are ubiquitous in the coastal and inland Australian and Pacific archaeological record. This project aims to (1) develop a best-practice methodology for fish CT scan segmentation to support taxonomic identifications of archaeological bone, (2) publish these outcomes open access to facilitate equitable reuse of the methodology and retention of these expertise into the future, and (3) establish an open access virtual fish bone reference collection, using the MorphoSource platform. The outcomes of this project with directly support ongoing archaeological and paleontological research and teaching efforts through the establishment of an open access virtual fish bone reference collection.
