Abstract:In order to better understand the shaping features of Neolithic tube-shaped pots from Liaoxi area, 595 tube-shaped pots with detailed size information were selected from archaeological excavation reports for further analysis. The characteristics in shaping are described from three aspects, i.e. mouth, abdomen and decoration. Through quantitative analysis on the structural relationship between caliber and bottom diameter and that between caliber and height, it was shown that during each cultural period, a certain rather stable proportional relationship in structure was followed. Moreover, the shaping features of different cultural periods are obviously different.
