Measuring the capacity

There have been questions about measuring the capacity of vessels in some earlier posts . I came across these publications in a recent Finnish article on subject (Jani Oravisjärvi: "Pohdintaa astioiden tilavuuden määrittämisessä", Fossa 1 / 2010) and thought that they might be of help and interest.

* A. MAZAR: Excavations at Tel Beth-Shean 1989–1996, Volume I --> Appendix 2A: A. Karasik and U. Smilansky: Computation of the Capacity of Pottery Vessels Based on Drawn Profiles , see: http://www.rehov.org/project/beit-shean_vol_1.htm

Thank you for this, Laura. These sources do look interesting! I've forwarded this post by email to Sally Grainger in case she doesn't see it right away on here!

Cheers!
