Dear Zooarchers,

I'm doing some research on the challenges and pitfalls of precisely identifying species in prehistoric depictions of animals. While there is an abundance of information on this issue for rock art, there seem to be few studies looking at objects in the round (sculpture, modeled figurines, lapidary objects, etc.). I would think that there would be additional considerations for three-dimensional objects that warrant treatment (e.g. effectiveness of GMM approaches), but I'm turning up short. Would anyone be able to suggest relevant publications I might have overlooked?

Many thanks,

Christina
