A simple yet objective and replicable method for recording a number of variables of the two dimensional morphology of artifacts is presented and described. This method permits precise quantification of variables such as artifact shape and ares, retouch length along the perimeter of chipped stone tools, measures of convexity concavity area and location of cortex, etc. Moreover, it allows for direct comparisions among vried artifact assemblages.
