The boxplots show the distribution of the mass values balance weights pertaining to the shekel- and the mina-range, compared to the distribution of metal fragments and complete objects. Dotted lines indicate the approximate value of the weight units. Solid lines indicate the boundaries of the CQA sampling (7-200 g). Shekel: n = 244, min.=0.16 g, max.=469.41 g, centre=9,.77 g, box bottom=4.08 g, box top=32.01 g, whisker bottom=0.16 g, whisker top=100.00 g. Fragments: n = 6,881, min.=0.01 g, max.=9,220 g, centre=26.00 g, box bottom=7.90 g, box top=82.00 g, whisker bottom=2.70 g, whisker top=233.00 g. Complete: n = 6,746, min.=0.27 g, max.=8,750 g, centre=181.00 g, box bottom=375.27 g, box top=210.00 g, whisker bottom=31.30 g, whisker top=340.00 g. Mina: n = 367, min.=11.8 g, max.=5,050 g, centre=592.00 g, box bottom=375.27 g, box top=908.30 g, whisker bottom=235.20 g, whisker top=998.36 g. Outliers method: 1.5*Interquartile range.
