Archeologists use minimum vessel analysis (special analysis of glass and ceramics) to learn more about the consumer behavior of the past occupants of archeological sites. Vessel analysis involves studying the minimum number of unique glass and ceramic vessels found on an archeological site or within a feature. Studying what types of goods were bought and where they were purchased gives archeologists insight into the daily lives of historic peoples. The photo shows the process of identifying different ceramic vessels from the Robinson House. |
