On this R-data statistics page, you will find information about the pottery data set which pertains to Romano-British Pottery Data . The pottery data set is found in the HSAUR R package. You can load the pottery data set in R by issuing the following command at the console data("pottery"). This will load the data into a variable called pottery. If R says the pottery data set is not found, you can try installing the package by issuing this command install.packages("HSAUR") and then attempt to reload the data. If you need to download R, you can go to the R project website. You can download a CSV (comma separated values) version of the pottery R data set. The size of this file is about 2,118 bytes.
