Abstract

Common ceramics constitute a very abundant material in the archaeological record. This study focuses on analyzing and statistically interpreting, from the perspective of archaeological material culture, the features of Roman coarse-ware ceramics from the Isturgi deposits (Andujar, Andalusia). The main goal of this research was to study ceramics from an archaeological perspective with reference to quantitative and qualitative aspects. The fragments of pottery belong to three essential types - kitchenware, tableware, and pottery for storage and transportation - and have different characteristics. The data set consists of 3,626 fragments of ceramics of Roman origin, divided in three clearly differentiated groups: 1) common calcareous ceramics, b) oxidized kitchen ceramics, and 3) reduced kitchen ceramics, having a very different quantity of fragments (1,635; 1,714; and 277, respectively) distributed in 16 excavation zones. The analysis of the information has been carried out on the basis of univariate methods, analysis of correlation and regression, analysis of the variance (ANOVA) and multivariate factorial analysis (Factorial Analysis with Varimax Rotation mainly). In this form it is possible to characterize ceramics on the basis of whether they were fired in an oxidizing or a reducing atmosphere.

来自Isturgi沉积物的普通罗马陶瓷的统计近似(Andújar，安达卢西亚)

在考古记录中，普通陶瓷是一种非常丰富的材料。本研究着重从考古物质文化的角度，对安达卢西亚安杜哈尔伊斯特尔吉(Isturgi)沉积的罗马粗陶陶器的特征进行分析和统计解释。本研究的主要目的是从考古学的角度，结合定量和定性两方面来研究陶瓷。陶器碎片分为厨具、餐具和储存和运输用陶器三种基本类型，具有不同的特征。该数据集由3,626块罗马陶瓷碎片组成，分为三组:1)普通钙质陶瓷，b)氧化厨房陶瓷，3)还原厨房陶瓷，碎片数量差异很大(1,635;1714;和277个)分布在16个发掘区。对资料进行了单因素分析、相关回归分析、方差分析(ANOVA)和多因素析因分析(主要是变量旋转析因分析)。在这种形式下，可以根据陶瓷是在氧化气氛中烧制还是在还原气氛中烧制来表征陶瓷。

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.
