(#fig:fig.net)Historic Caddo network generated using ceramic and lithic types, which includes Caddo ceramics, illustrating two larger north (blue) and south (red) communities of practice. The communities were identified using a modularity statistic to identify nodes more densely connected to one another than to the rest of the network <span class="citation">(<a href="#ref-RN8051" role="doc-biblioref">Blondel et al. 2008</a>; <a href="#ref-RN8024" role="doc-biblioref">Lambiotte, Delvenne, and Barahona 2014</a>)</span>.

<p>A subsequent analysis of Gahagan bifaces confirmed that a second category of Caddo material culture expressed significant morphological differences across the same geography as the Hickory Engraved and Smithport Plain bottles <span class="citation">(<a href="#ref-RN8158" role="doc-biblioref">Selden Jr., Dockall, and Shafer 2018</a>)</span>. The morphology of Gahagan bifaces from sites in central Texas was later found to differ significantly when compared with those recovered from the ancestral Caddo area <span class="citation">(<a href="#ref-RN8322" role="doc-biblioref">Selden Jr., Dockall, and Dubied 2020</a>)</span>. That Gahagan bifaces were found to differ across two spatial boundaries was noteworthy, particularly since it is regularly assumed that they were manufactured in central Texas and arrived in the ancestral Caddo area as products of trade or exchange <span class="citation">(<a href="#ref-RN8158" role="doc-biblioref">Selden Jr., Dockall, and Shafer 2018</a>; <a href="#ref-RN8322" role="doc-biblioref">Selden Jr., Dockall, and Dubied 2020</a>)</span>. Further, that Gahagan bifaces were found to differ across the same geographic area as the Hickory Engraved and Smithport Plain Caddo bottles suggested that the temporal range of the may extend into the Formative/Early Caddo period (CE 800 - 1250); a notion that was later confirmed in a more comprehensive analysis of Caddo bottles <span class="citation">(<a href="#ref-RN8312" role="doc-biblioref">Selden Jr. 2021b</a>)</span>.</p>
<p>Perdiz arrow points were among those artefact types included in the Historic Caddo network analysis <span class="citation">(<a href="#ref-RN8031" role="doc-biblioref">Selden Jr. 2021a</a>)</span>, and while it was expected that they would differ across the <em>shape boundary</em>, it was not at all clear how that difference would be characterised. This is due primarily to the high degree of shape variation that occurs across the Perdiz type. It was less clear whether Caddo Perdiz arrow points might be said to differ by temporal period in the northern and southern communities of practice (<a href="https://aksel-blaise.github.io/perdiz2/">https://aksel-blaise.github.io/perdiz2/</a>). A recent study found significant differences in shape by time, raw material, and burial context for Perdiz arrow points from the ancestral Caddo area <span class="citation">(<a href="#ref-RN9364" role="doc-biblioref">Selden Jr et al. 2021</a>)</span>, making clear the dynamic nature of their morphology.</p>

<p>Perdiz arrow points represent a third category of Caddo material culture to be included in the analyses, and were among those artefact types included in the Historic Caddo network analysis <span class="citation">(<a href="#ref-RN8031" role="doc-biblioref">Selden Jr. 2021a</a>)</span>. While it was expected that they would differ across the <em>shape boundary</em>, it was not at all clear how that difference would be characterised.

<p>This effort shifts the scope of these undertakings to focus upon a smaller scale, providing a means of applying the tools of geometric morphometrics to the oft-fragmentary and incomplete elements of material culture regularly encountered in the archaeological record. The first of these studies is focusing upon variability in decorative motifs via Caddo ceramic incisions (<a href="https://aksel-blaise.github.io/incision/">https://aksel-blaise.github.io/incision/</a>), and a shift to analyses of standard vessel components would provide an additional means of developing and testing our conceptual arguments related to the Caddo cultural landscape.</p>
