Crateology was the 'science' of identifying the contents of Soviet shipments to the Island ofCuba carried out by theCentral Intelligence Agency during theCuban Missile Crisis.[1]
Crateology has declined as a discipline in recent years due to globalisation and the decline in the usage of custom made wooden crates in favour of standard metalshipping containers.
