Abstract
This summarizes a demonstration at the "Metron" conference (April 2002, Yale University), using a computer program to calculate the capacity of pots drawn on the computer screen and then given one dimension (e.g., its greatest diameter or maximum height). The paper then lists the calculated volumes of 30 Late Minoan-Mycenaean vessels, and expresses these in liters and in Mycenaean dry and wet units (Linear B).
