Abstract
The Munsell Book of Color and the Munsell Soil Color Charts are used as a routine procedure to describe the color of pottery, stone, earth profiles, earth pigments, and painted objects from archaeological excavations. The precision of the characterization of the color of an object by means of the Munsell data depends on a number of factors, discussed here in detail. -- AATA
