Abstract
A general framework is suggested within which a computer database of the outline shapes of archaeological artifacts could be set up to permit online retrieval of those artifacts in the database that are similar in shape to some given artifact. In particular, it is shown how techniques of design already in use in certain types of text databases can usefully be employed. -- AATA
