It is common practice in archeology to calculate conditional probabilities of invisible properties of an artifact or a site given the know frequency distributions of visible properties of the same artifact of site in relation to a larger sample of know cases. The conditional property (P) of being a Ming tombstone (M), given the tomb features A, B and C is written as P(M|ABC).   \begin{equation}  P(M|ABC) = \frac{P(ABC|H) * P(H)}{P(ABC) P(H)}{P(ABC)}  \end{equation}  This could be estimated through P(MABC)/P(ABC),
