Summary

This database is part of Appendix E, from Ban Chiang, a Prehistoric Village Site in Northeast Thailand, Volume 1: The Human Skeletal Remains (tDAR ID #: 376592). Database E.11 contains non-metric observations (Osteoarthritis in the Adolescent and Adult Skull and Appendicular Skeletons

from Ban Chiang) by individual burial excavated from the BC and BCES locales at Ban Chiang, Thailand. Coding information is pasted at the bottom of this abstract, and can also be downloaded as a .txt document at tDAR ID#:

SPECID = Individual Burial Number

First number is excavation locale

followed by two spaces and then the burial identification number.

Example: 1 14 is BC Burial 14
