Abstract:	An analysis of select attributes of 87 crucible fragments from Ban Chiang and a total of ten from Ban Tong, Don Klang, and Ban Phak Top was made to determine the possible correlation between attributes and the relative chronology for Ban Chiang. Attributes examined for this purpose are temper, rim shape and lagging. Studies were made primarily with petrographic and binocular microscopes. The placement of some fragments in a chronological stage may be approximate since an assessment of disturbances and resultant displacement of fragments has yet to be specified. Therefore, the results at this time can be considered suggestive rather than conclusive for the areas examined.
