Table Information: Primary Data

This table contains the primary zooarchaeological data (everything except weight).

Column Name Data Type Type Category Coding Sheet Ontology Search
COMMENTS Comments may relate to modification types, see the "Modifications: Arizona State Museum Faunal Coding Key"
VARCHAR  Uncoded Value Lookup : Notes none none true
MARKS The type of butchery or other culturally-made marks on the specimen. More information about these marks is sometimes included in the Comments column.

NISP The Number of Identified Specimens (NISP), or bone count, is determined for every taxonomic identification. Specimens that cross-mend with other specimens in the same minimum analytical unit (Catalog Number) are counted as single specimens. No attempt was made to cross-mend specimens from separate Catalog Numbers.

Table Information: Weights

All weights were collected by taking all specimens belonging to a specific taxon identification within a minimal analytical unit (Catalog or FS number) and weighing them together. Thus, while different elements or portions are separated into different lines in the primary dataset, they are combined here for the weight measurement. ​
