"Due to inconsistencies in recording the presence of pottery ware types was recorded at each
site and where possible it was determined whether these were a major ware (ie. typical of the
assemblage) or a minor ware (ie. rare or exceptional within the assemblage). Ware types were
assigned to broad common ware groups, where possible through concordance with published
regional pottery type series. These, in turn, were allocated to a broad production region.
The nodes in the network comprise the towns and the production regions.
The edges in the network comprise pottery from a given production region, present within a
particular towns. Edges are directed from the source to the town. Edges relating to a major
ware within an assemblage was given a weight of 1 and those relating to minor wares or
wares of indeterminate significance were weighted 0.5.
The network was created using the open source software Gephi."
