DAACS Seriation Method
DAACS staff aim to produce a seriation-based chronology for each slave-quarter site using the same methods (see Neiman, Galle, and Wheeler 2003 for technical details). Only assemblages with more than five ceramic sherds are included in these ceramic-based seriations. Unfortunately, 99.4 percent of the House 14 ceramic assemblage was missing from the collections at the University of West Indies. DAACS staff were only able to locate and catalog two ceramic sherds. Please see House 14's "Before You Begin" page for additional details about these missing artifacts.
