Observational analysis improves species identification in archaeological contexts, highlighting actualism's role.

Shape from geometric morphometrics is effective for species identification of sheep and goats.
The study used data from 157 modern specimens and over 9,000 archaeological measurements.
Observational analysis of postcranial bones demonstrates the power of broader morphometric data sharing.
