This page lists and in many cases provides links to downloadable versions of four kinds of products generated in connection with PEPP: 1) publications; 2) M.A. theses and Ph.D. dissertations; 3) presentations made at professional conferences; and 4) research tools.
In the future this page will also provide links to downloadable versions of various internal project documents that describe the protocols employed for the characterization and quantification of the Palatine East pottery..
It is requested that those who download any of the presentations and/or research tools made available on this page acknowledge RES ROMANAE as the source in any scholarly product that they create that makes use of them.

4) Research tools
A. Chart for measuring of rim/base diameter and percent represented:
For his work with PEPP J. Ikäheimo produced a diameter gauge with rays at 1 percent intervals that can be used to establish the diameter of a vessel rim or base sherd and calculate the percent of the rim/base that it represents.
B. Adobe Illustrator routine for the production of finished digital drawings from pottery profile drawings.
For his work with PEPP J. Ikäheimo produced a routine in Adobe Illustrator that permits the production of a tracing of a scan of a pottery profile drawing that can be used to work up a finished digital drawing. J.T. Peña subsequently wrote up a set of instructions that describe how to employ this routine to produce finished drawings.
