Shape Conversion Chart

Introduction

In 2014, Laerke Recht, Caitlin Chaves Yates, and Marilyn Kelly-Buccellati undertook a major revision of the shapes coding system. In the past different coding combinations were used for different ceramic catalogs. In some cases the same letter was used in different catalogs to represent different shapes. To harmonize these codes across all phases and all catalogs, a new lexicon and complete listing of possible codes were created. The chart below was devised to allow all old ceramic data to be converted to the new system in a systematic way. The left side of the chart gives the codes (in alphabetical order) as they were used before 2014. The chart is intended to check conversions from old codes to the new coding system. When encountering a code in the old system, one looks it up on the left side of the chart then reads across to the right side to determine the proper conversion. In some cases there are duplicate codes when code combinations were duplicated but intended to describe different shapes. In these cases both possible conversions are given in the right side of the chart and any notes for converting the shapes are given in the “Notes on Conversion Process” column.

Code Conversion Chart

This table is intended to show the conversion from the old code system to the new system. On the left (under the red headings) are the codes as they were used before the code revision of 2014. The codes on the right (under green headings) are the codes as they are currently used in the system. A complete explanation of the new codes is found on the Shapes-Codes page.
