Breakdown of the pottery shards by culture
Understanding the Context
The team determined that 15% of the 300 shards belong to this distinct cultural group. To calculate:
15% of 300 = 0.15 × 300 = 45 shards
These 45 pieces are believed to reflect the artistic and technological practices of the culture in question.
From fragment to intact: How many shards survive whole?
But time takes its toll—most pottery lasts as mere fragments. Even fewer survive perfectly preserved. Of the 45 identified shards from the culture, 20% are intact, meaning fully recognizable as continuous pottery.
Calculating intact pieces:
20% of 45 = 0.20 × 45 = 9 intact shards
