Criteria of identifying printed stamps made with one die on the bottoms of the Vladimir wheel-made ceramics

This publication describes experience in tracewear analysis of potter's stamps on the bottoms of Medieval Russia wheel-made vessels from Vladimir with a view of selecting criteria that will be used to detect impressions of one die-intaglio.
