Abstract
Summary This article presents the results of a simple quantitative analysis of a large number of the East African stone bowls. The analysis indicates that stone bowls at individual sites tend to cluster about a distinct norm and “modal type”. Further, the norm and the “modal type” can vary greatly between sites. Possible explanations for this type of patterning and its significance are discussed, and it is suggested that the use of simple quantitative analysis combined with traditional typological approaches might aid in the interpretation of the temporal, spatial and cultural significance of the stone bowls.
