Rezumat

Aiming to elucidate and answer questions like how parts of a body vary and how they correlate with each other, or how they respond to processes of growth and evolution, a new field of morphometry emerged – Geometric Morphometrics (GM). Geometric Morphometrics is a complex statistical analysis that combines the geometry of organisms (including human body), computer science and modern engineering, to focus on information concerning the location dynamics of certain points (i.e. Cartesian landmark and semilandmark coordinates) situated on or inside body/parts of body. This new approach to the shape analysis has been increasingly used in palaeoanthropology in the last two decades, lending greater power to the analysis and interpretation of the human ancient remains. This study provides an overview on the main terminology, concepts and methods in the shape quantitative analysis, and also applications with an emphasis on our work in this field. A case study is presented; it concerns the morphological/shape variability in samples of medieval human skeletons from Eastern Romania using as phenotypic marker the occlusal groove patterns of molar teeth.
