Gran Quivira Lithic material type coding sheet

Part of the Gran Quivira Archaeological project

Creator(s): Judi L. Cameron

Year: 1985

Summary

This coding key is for the material type variable in the Gran Quivira lithics database. It is based on color and then on type, chert, chalcedony (translucent), obsidian, and quartzite. For at least some of the 1986 lithics, broader categories of obsidian, white chalcedony, quartzite, and miscellaneous materials were used. These were given codes 91-94 in this coding sheet. Other analyses also used broader material type categories. I have thus uploaded another coding sheet, 'gqlithicmaterialtypecats', that shows which of the more specific original material types were lumped into the broader categories of obsidian, local chalcedony, and quartzite. That sheet is not, however, mapped to the existing dataset.
