The first project publication, based on the dissertation by Richard-Trémeau (2023) is now available as Open access and supplementary data was released on the platform Zenodo :
Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) of the methods adopted by the project will be made available when approved. These SOPs were written in collaboration with students working with the procedures, such as Alexandra Humann and Luke Xuereb.
During the project, catalogues of the pottery samples were created. It is essential before destructive analysis to record features of the artefact, and catalogues can be used to record all the vessel's characteristics. To do so, a latex script to present artefacts was written and recently made accessible online for Tex users.
The CoFIPoMS team is committed to give access to data for further work. It is the intention of the project coordinators that the data will be made available on an open access repository under the CC BY licence.
