Only rarely does an archaeologist have the good fortune to work with large numbers of finds of a single type. This study deals with the analysis of Jacobakan jugs and loosely related forms from well-stratified contexts in the Netherlands, notably the castles of Hattem, Roozendaal and De Voorst. By measuring these according to a number of set parameters, and plotting the dimensions on a triangular graph, it is demonstrated that most of the various types can be differentiated.
