Ancient Greek pottery. Archaeologists excavating the ancient Greek settlement at Phylakopi classi?ed the pottery found in trenches (Chance, Fall 2000). The next table describes the collection of 837 pottery pieces uncovered in a particular layer at the excavation site. Construct and interpret a graph that will aid the archaeologists in understanding the distribution of the pottery types found at the site.
