Steps to reproduce

1. Run "01_Table.R" to generate statistical results for tables. 2. Run "02_PCA.R" to perform principal component analysis. 3. Run "03_Figure.R" to produce figures. 4. Run "04_Classification.R" to classify new archaeological data. This script is designed for classifying new archaeological data and requires specific measurements to produce Figure 9.: Metacarpal: e, 1 (D1), f,    4 (D4) Metatarsal: e, 1 (D1), f, D4 or Bd, GL, f, and 4 (D4) First phalanx: Bp, Dp, Bd, GLpe Second phalanx: Bp, Bd, GLpe Note: Before running this script, update the placeholder filename (your_file.csv) in the script with the actual name of your data file.
