Spanish term or phrase: equivalentes de vasija
Help! I am translating a very interesting article on an archaeological dig in Italy, where they are analysing fragments of amphorae found. My problem is 'equivalentes de vasija' in the following extract: do they mean how many shards would make up a full amphora? if so, how could I say that anyway concisely? If so, would it not be almost the same as the next bit "número mínimo de individuos"? Or is it something else entirely? I'd appreciate your help. TIA.


hemos estudiado un conjunto de 1820 fragmentos de ánfora muy fragmentadas. Ante estos conjuntos tan fragmentados es necesario utilizar algún método de recuento (equivalentes de vasija, número mínimo de individuos, recuento de bordes, etc.), pero con los restos anfóricos hemos de tener en cuenta la dificultad que ofrecen algunas partes (paredes, asas y pivotes) para precisar su tipo
