In this article we demonstrate, using two archaeological case studies, the applicability and potential of geometric morphometric methodologies to the Danish archaeological record. The article first introduces the reader to the mathematical underpinnings of statistical shape and form (shape plus size) analysis, before detailing the fundamentals of geometric morphometrics, emphasising its statistical power and coverage in comparison to linear morphometrics. Throughout this article, we detail the workflow, from data acquisition and through to subsequent analysis. We emphasise open-source software packages which can be used in conducting shape analysis, and the wealth of information available on this subject. While a high degree of technical knowledge is necessary, an incredible amount of analytical possibility can be harnessed through the adoption of two- and three-dimensional geometric morphometrics.
