What are the most commonly occuring objects in the Pitt Rivers Museum's European collections?
Just like the global collections, the European collections are dominated by tools (especially stone tools), this time they form 43.6 of the European collections, nearly 1 in every 2 objects. No other artefact comes close, though pottery items (mostly sherds) are also common. These reflect the dominance of archaeological objects in the European collections.
Note: Many artefacts are classified as more than one type of object, for example a drinking horn would be classifled both as a vessel but also as food related.
