Summary/Abstract: Statistical interpretation of pottery includes the identification of type of firing besides the analysis of decoration and shape. This feature can offer a series of information, provided especially by secondary firings applied to the artifacts during the production or as a result of their use in fire technologies. Another cause for occurrence of changes in the appearance of fragments of the same piece could be the time difference until these were covered by soil. The action of external factors could have produced a number of degradations. The statistical analysis must take into consideration these factors in order to pursue a study that is as objective as possible.
