Mosaic works are recognized to be of great architectural, cultural and historical importance. Mosaics are formed by bringing together different particles that form a whole. This thesis aims to analyze the shape characteristics of historical and contemporary mosaic tesserae, including size, area and perimeter. Mosaic inventories were analyzed, and photographs were regarded as data. Computer-assisted analysis produced data regarding the shape structures of mosaic tesserae. The results enhanced the literature by assessing shape similarities and differences among historical and contemporary mosaics, elucidating structural changes throughout time, and offering a novel perspective on mosaic appraisal. The digital examination of mosaic tesserae will facilitate the development of databases, offering significant insights for future archaeologists. The computer-assisted image analysis and shape analysis employed in this research are anticipated to influence many archaeological investigations.
