A “sherd” is part of a piece of pottery that one might dig up at an archaeological site where pottery-making people once lived. Archaeologists usually want to figure out how big the original piece of pottery was, as that can tell them something about who might have made the piece and when it was made.Your job is to use the artifact you are given, devise a method for determining the diameter of the original plate, and calculate that diameter. Since this may be a valuable artifact from an assemblage of artifacts from an ancient civilization, do not mark or damage it in any way! (Hint: trace around the outline of your sherd onto the handout.)
