#' Apertures of Chupa Pots from Three Philippine Communities
#' 
#' The apertures of the chupa pots from three Philippine locations: 
#' Dalupa (\code{ApDl}), Dangtalan (\code{ApDg}), and Paradijon (\code{ApP}).
#' 
#' @details Archaeologists are concerned with the effect that increasing economic activity 
#' had on older civilizations. Economic growth and its related economic specialization 
#' led to the "standardization hypothesis", i.e., increased production of an item would 
#' lead to its becoming more uniform. \insertCite{Kvamme_etal_1996;textual}{lawstat} focused 
#' on earthenware, chupa-pots from three Philippine communities that differ in 
#' the way they organize ceramic production. In Dangtalan, pottery is primarily made 
#' for household use; in Dalupa there is a non-market barter economy where potters 
#' exchange their works. In the village of Paradijon, near the provincial capital, 
#' full-time pottery specialists sell their output to shopkeepers for sale to 
#' the general public.
