Description

Quantitative approaches in ceramology are gaining ground in excavation reports, archaeological publications and thematic studies. Hence, a wide variety of methods are being used depending on the researchers’ theoretical premise, the type of materialwhich is examined, the context of discovery and the questions that are addressed. The round table that took place in Athens on November 2008 was intended to offer the participants the opportunity to present a selection of case studies on the basis ofwhich methodological approaches were discussed. The aim was to define a set of guidelines for quantification that would prove to be of use to all researchers.
