The morphological changes in Han-Dynasty ceramic granary models in the Xi'an region are not particularly pronounced,and the academic understandings drawn from traditional methods are often quite limited.This paper introduces statistical methods such as correlation analysis,regression analysis,factor analysis,cluster analysis,mean comparison,and hypothesis testing to quantitatively analyze archaeological data of ceramic granary models.Our results indicate that over time,there is a trend of increase followed by decrease in the overall size of the ceramic granary models.Except during the Xin Mang period,they generally maintain a standard assemblage,often occurring as a group(s)of five.However,the proportion of ceramic granary models unearthed from Han-Dynasty tombs remains relatively stable.This aligns with the socioeconomic development of the Western Han period,indicating that burial customs and preferences did not undergo significant changes during this period.
