Analysis of structure and design in prehistoric ceramics

This paper describes a new method of ceramic analysis and gives preliminary results of an example of its application to a large body of data from the fifth millennium site of Susa, in southwestern Iran. The method distinguishes between structural and design elements and relates these to vessel form. Coding of elements proceeds until enough information is stored to enable one to regenerate the pots from the code alone. The analysis allows one to define precisely the characteristics of any group of ceramics and to use this definition as the basis of comparative assessments. The method has many implications beyond those discussed here
