This paper presents distance and similarity measures for art motifs that can be applied to any pair of archaeological artifacts that contain complex art motifs. An art motif similarity analysis shows particularly strong connections of Minoan art with Fertile Crescent, Old European, Scythian and traditional Hungarian art.

KEYWORDS: distance metric, feature set, motif, motif similarity, pattern, spiral, similarity measure
