Lyle--I have been extending Stan South's button typology with the assemblage
from Fort Johnson, but have not established a measurement template (relying
more on morphology). I have been photgoraphing most examples on a gridded
background, to extract metrics later. I'd be interested to hear more about
your work, and share what I have found.
