pot: Apertures of chupa-pots from three Philippine communities
Description
The apertures of the chupa pots from the three Philippine locations:
Dalupa (ApDl), Dangtalan (ApDg) and Paradijon (ApP).format
A multivariate data set with 343 observations on 2 variables: apertures and
locations.source

Archaeologists are concerned with the effect that increasing economic activity
had on older civilizations. Economic growth and its related economic specialization
led to the "standardization hypothesis", i.e. increased production of an item would
lead to its becoming more uniform. Kvamme, Stark and Longacre (1996) focused
on earthenware, chupa-pots from three Philippine communities that differ in
the way they organize ceramic production. In Dangtalan, pottery is primarily made
for household use; in Dalupa there is a non-market barter economy where potters
exchange their works. In the village of Paradijon, near the Provincial capital,
full-time pottery specialists sell their output to shopkeepers for sale to
the general public.References
