本研究探讨复制错误过程对物质文化的影响。目的是评估由复制错误产生的标准化血管的形态测量变异性是否可以揭示集体和个体的特征。从这个角度来看，我们收集了320个现代标准化的水罐，由23名印度专业陶工制作，这些陶工属于分布在8个村庄的两个内婚社区。通过先进的陶瓷容器形状分析，对容器进行了分析。问题是评估在“社区”、“村庄”和“个人”尺度上是否可以观察到形态计量学变异。结果显示两个内婚制群落之间有明显的分离，即使肉眼几乎看不见。此外，还可以获得村庄层面的趋势，特别是当村庄生产与不同的学习网络相关联时。在属于同一学习网络的多个陶工制作的标准化产品中识别个人签名仍然具有挑战性。
This study explores the effects of the copying error process on material culture. The goal is to assess whether the morphometric variability of standardized vessels, generated by copying errors, can reveal both collective and individual signatures. In this perspective, we collected a corpus of 320 present-day standardized water jars, made by 23 Indian expert potters belonging to two endogamous communities distributed between eight villages. The vessels are analyzed through advanced shape analysis of ceramic vessels. The issue is to assess whether morphometric variability is observable at the 'community,' the 'village,' and the 'individual' scales. The results show a clear separation between the two endogamous communities, even when barely visible by the naked eye. Furthermore, village-level trends can be obtained, especially when village productions are associated with distinct learning networks. Identifying individual signatures within standardized production made by multiple potters belonging to the same learning network remains challenging.
