Three multivariate statistical methods, cluster, discrminant and principal components analysis were perform on the data set. The results showed that the large majority of the samples (94%) can be considered to be manufactured using the same source of raw material.93-96openAccessneutron activation analysisceramicsarchaeological sitesbrazilmulti-element analysiselementstrace amountsmultivariate analysiscultural objectsarchaeological specimensArtigo de periódico124810.1023/A:1010682209370
