| Abstract: | The probability that similarly shaped ceramics by different potters will show individual characteristics is tested on control samples by multivariate metrical analysis and demonstrated. The method of analysis could profitably be applied to kiln-site material of any culture where it might give some estimate of the size of the workshop involved, or to large samples of any "identical' hand-made ceramicS. |
