So they're called lugs. And when I look at it, I say, well, I think those were like there to keep a vase in place somewhere. Like if I'm thinking about it as a machinery, maybe the vase was locked in place on those lugs and so it wouldn't shift. But I don't think it was like a handle for carrying or for aesthetic purposes, because as modern work shows, you don't need a handle.

It looks better without a handle. It's far more difficult to make it with a handle. So why? Unless there was a technological reason for it.

Because the holes are crooked, and I don't remember somebody... I'm citing information I heard from somebody else. Maybe it was in one of the Pietri's writings. But somewhere I read that there are plenty of these where handles weren't drilled through. And on every one I've seen, you know, the holes just don't match the quality of the rest of it. You know, they're pointing in different directions.

They're crudely made.

Yeah. So my, you know, my speculation is, you know, handle is a, is a latch type thing. And, we can... Okay, so that shows a STL scan of one of the vases, and it shows how I sliced it. Basically, it's organized upright for analysis, and I slice it horizontally.

Yeah, and I used it in a Matlab for my analysis. I used Matlab and MatGeom library for slicing. Yeah, so if you slice it, you get this concentric slices and some slices with a handle that I had to discard and I'll explain later. But here I talk about quality metric. So I used a least squares field, man, least squares fitting technique. So it's a common, It's a go-to technique in science.

If you have a circle and you have points and you want to see how well those points fit on a circle, you use the least squares fitting technique. And what you get from it, so you get a radius and you get a center. That's the outcome of least squares fitting. And you also get this root mean square error that tells you how well the line or the points fit the circle.
