Cline Terrace Mound Data: Plain Ware Ceramics from All Contexts
Part of the Roosevelt Platform Mound Study: Cline Terrace Mound (DRAFT) project
Year: 1997
Summary
The Cline Terrace Mound Data tables provide a summary of the artifacts recovered during Arizona State University (ASU), Office of Cultural Resource Management's (OCRM) Roosevelt Platform Mound Study (RPMS) excavations at Cline Terrace Mound (AZ U:4:33, AZ U:4:132, AR-03-12-06-132). The Cline Terrace Mound table Plain Ware Ceramics from All Contexts presents a summary of the plain ware ceramic vessels recovered from all contexts (both screened and unscreened) at the site.
The table lists designated archaeological contexts - strata - at the site, and then provides the frequency (count) of individual plain ware vessels with different surface treatments for each stratum. Note that the table presents a count of individual vessels (i.e., groups of sherds or single sherds assigned to individual vessels) identified to particular plain ware surface treatment types. The Stage 2 Ceramic Diagnostic analysis was typically restricted to diagnostic vessel parts: bowl rims, jar rims/necks, shoulders, and bases (It was extended to body sherds in contexts where diagnostic vessel parts were low in frequency).
The strata represent major natural or cultural depositional events such as erosional fill, roof fall, floor contexts, and sterile substrate. Strata are depicted as horizontal rows of interconnected boxes on a Harris Matrix. Within a feature, each stratum is designated by the feature number (e.g., 10, 11, 12, etc.) and a letter that designates a particular stratum (e.g., A, B, C). The letters are assigned in descending order. Mixed levels and artifacts collected out of context are designated by a "?". Artifacts from each feature (or mixed context) are tallied according to strata. Please see column metadata for further detail. Please also see the data table "Cline Terrace Mound Data: Strata" for further data about each stratum, including the assigned stratum type, at the following tDAR url: https://core.tdar.org/dataset/394140
The Cline Mound Terrace Data tables were originally published on the Roosevelt Platform Mound Monograph Series No. 7 titled "A Salado Platform Mound on Tonto Creek, Report on the Cline Terrace Mound, Cline Terrace Complex." The tables were published in an appendix at the end of the volume. Please see the report volume at the following tDAR URL:

| Column Name | Data Type | Type | Category | Coding Sheet | Ontology | Search |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Red/Plain | Frequency of individual vessels identified as a Brown Paste, Smooth Finish, Undecorated Ware with a plain red surface treatment. A plain ware vessel with a Red/Plain surface treatment has a "exterior red slip or wash, interior red slip or plain" (A Laboratory Plan for Salado Research, pp. 3-14 -- 3-17 and 3-22). The Stage 1 Ceramic Analysis assigned ceramic sherds to distinct vessels and then identified individual vessels to major surface treatment groups. This analysis identified plain ware vessels to their major plain ware/surface treatment groups. The Stage 2 Ceramic Diagnostic analysis examined groups of sherds or single sherds assigned to distinct vessels to record major ware types and surface treatment types. The analysis was typically restricted to diagnostic vessel parts: bowl rims, jar rims/necks, shoulders, and bases. However, it was extended to body sherds in contexts where there were few to no rim/neck sherds. | |||||

| Plain/Plain | Frequency of individual vessels identified as a Brown Paste, Smooth Finish, Undecorated Ware, with a plain surface treatment. A plain ware vessel with a plain surface treatment has the following characteristics: "exterior and interior plain or self–slip (no added pigment)" (A Laboratory Plan for Salado Research, pp. 3-14 -- 3-17 and 3-22). The Stage 1 Ceramic Analysis assigned ceramic sherds to distinct vessels and then identified individual vessels to major surface treatment groups. This analysis identified plain ware vessels to their major plain ware/surface treatment groups.

| Stratum | Identifies a major natural or cultural depositional event such as erosional fill, roof fall, floor contexts, and sterile substrate (i.e., a single archaeological context in both horizontal and vertical space). Strata are depicted as horizontal rows of interconnected boxes on a Harris Matrix. A stratum is a combination of an individual feature and a context in or associated with that feature. For example, Feature 10 might be a structure with an erosonial fill stratum, a roof fall stratum, a floor stratum, and a sterile substrate stratum. Within each feature, each stratum is designated by the feature number (e.g., 10, 11, 12, etc.) and a letter that designates a particular stratum (e.g., A, B, C). The levels excavated in a feature were aggregated into individual feature strata (e.g., Levels 1 - 3 = Stratum A). A feature's stratum letters are assigned in descending order. A context letter of "?" designates a mixed level or context or artifacts collected out of context. Examples: 0? = General Cultural Fill/No Feature and Indeterminate context 10A = Feature 10 and Context A 10B = Feature 10 and Context B 10C = Feature 10 and Context C 22? = Feature 22 and Mixed and/or Undefined context 22A - Feature 22 and Context A Each stratum (e.g., 10C) is assigned to a stratum type. The stratum data are presented in a separate stratum data table. Please see the data table Cline Terrace Mound Data: Strata at the following tDAR url: https://core.tdar.org/dataset/394140 Examples: 10A = Feature 10 and Context A = Feature 10, erosional fill 10B = Feature 10 and Context B = Feature 10, roof fall 10C = Feature 10 and Context C = Feature 10, floor Artifacts collected from each feature are tallied according to strata. For example, artifacts collected from Feature 10 are tallied for Stratum A, Stratum B, Stratum C, etc. | |||||

| Salado Red | Frequency of individual vessels identified as a Brown Paste, Corrugated Finish, Decorated and Undecorated Ware, with a Salado Red surface treatment. A plain ware vessel with a Salado Red surface treatment has the following characteristics: "exterior fine obliterated corrugations, matte red, raspberry slip exterior may have fine white lines added as design on red slip interior black or grey smudge, highly polished" (A Laboratory Plan for Salado Research, pp. 3-14 -- 3-17 and 3-22). The Stage 1 Ceramic Analysis assigned ceramic sherds to distinct vessels and then identified individual vessels to major surface treatment groups. This analysis identified plain ware vessels to their major plain ware/surface treatment groups. The Stage 2 Ceramic Diagnostic analysis examined groups of sherds or single sherds assigned to distinct vessels to record major ware types and surface treatment types. The analysis was typically restricted to diagnostic vessel parts: bowl rims, jar rims/necks, shoulders, and bases.
