Abstract

The study of a massive waste dump of the Arretine potter Ateius, by means of the database FileMaker Pro 11, provided some evidence concerning the deposit’s formation. For part of the fragments there were at least two depositions at different times, as some potsherds were re-used as building material within the kiln itself, then discarded again, with a layer of lime and sand that still covered them. Some fragments were first used as slats for shaping vases, then thrown into the dump, and eventually re-used as building material. All these operations inevitably caused the alteration of the stratigraphy, making it quite difficult to piece together all the fragments pertaining to a single vase. Moreover, in a period that cannot be identified, part of the dump was moved from the original place to the location where it was found in the excavation carried out in the 1950s . All these events are reflected by the archaeological records. The Conspectus 9 cup is a good example: the fragments of rims largely outnumber those of foots. Assessing the minimum number of vessels present in the dump is not easy under these circumstances.

那么多碎片，那么多花瓶?

利用数据库FileMaker Pro 11对Arretine potter Ateius的大量废渣进行了研究，提供了有关该矿床形成的一些证据。部分碎片在不同时期至少有两次沉积，因为一些陶器碎片在窑内被重新用作建筑材料，然后再次被丢弃，上面仍然覆盖着一层石灰和沙子。一些碎片首先被用作花瓶的板条，然后被扔进垃圾堆，最后被重新用作建筑材料。所有这些操作都不可避免地导致了地层的改变，使得将属于一个花瓶的所有碎片拼凑起来变得相当困难。此外，在一段无法确定的时期内，部分垃圾场从原来的地方移到了20世纪50年代进行挖掘时发现的地方。所有这些事件都反映在考古记录中。contspectus杯就是一个很好的例子:杯沿碎片的数量远远超过了足部碎片的数量。在这种情况下，评估倾倒场中存在的最低船只数量并不容易。

期刊介绍： From the outset, the aim was to initiate an open and continuous exchange of information among different countries, thus prompting the creation of an international Scientific Committee. Representatives of the major Italian and foreign institutes interested in archaeological computing agreed to become members. A qualified Editorial board also assures a continuous flow of information and a profitable exchange of data. The journal covers three distinct parts. The first considers methodological approaches: it collects articles concerning theoretical aspects of archaeological computing as well as reports on programmes conducted by dedicated international institutions. The main section contains articles on various computer applications, such as databases, Geographical Information Systems, quantitative methods, expert systems, computer graphics, image processing, multimedia and web tools. A section is also dedicated to the automatic processing of documentary sources. The third aspect of the journal is characterised by book reviews and bibliographic news, with the aim to provide readers with an up-to-date source of documentation. Special thematic issues and Conference Proceedings have also been included.
