Archaeological studies involve more and more numerical data analyses. In this work, we are interested in the analysis and classification of ceramic sherds tomographic images in order to help archaeologists in learning about the fabrication processes of ancient pottery. More specifically, a particular manufacturing process (spiral patchwork) has...

We are interested here in the settlement in the Western Mediterranean through the sorting of pottery samples. The aim is to discriminate between two building techniques, looking for the features formed by the air...
