An exposé of a methodology for recording coarse pottery in
Limousin. Includes a sample recording sheet which attempts to
encompass every conceivable aspect of a pot, and which is easily
computerized. The problem with systems like this is that they
tend to be cumbersome because they ignore the obvious shorthand
notation which is implicit in many basic descriptions: for
example, we all know that BB1 is hand-made, so there should be
no need to keep repeating waffle about the surface treatment
each time a sherd is recorded. While computers generally tend
not to like blank spaces, constantly filling them in can be a
colossal waste of time, if one has a lot of pottery to deal
with. (See also entry nos. 630, 640 & 644).
