Abstract

In determining the function of a pot, its volume plays an important role. Since whole pots are very rarely found in settlement layers, their volume can only be estimated based on their diameter. Rim shards, i.e. shards with a preserved area around the neck, are particularly suitable for this purpose. This method of determining volume can also be verified by comparing the known volumes of whole pots in a group with the diameters.

Keywords
