Summary

The Livingston 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 Livingston Management Group, Pinto Creek Complex. The Livingston table, "Plain Ware Ceramics from All Contexts," presents a summary of the plain ware ceramic vessels recovered from all investigated contexts (both screened and unscreened) at the site.

The table lists archaeological sites and designated archaeological contexts - strata - at each site. 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. In this table, the archaeological contexts - strata - are identified by a combination of numbering systems: the ASM site number, a colon, the feature number, and the stratum letter designation (EX: U:3:198:006A, U:3:198:006B). 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.

The table 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).

This data was originally published in the Roosevelt Platform Mound Monograph Series No. 3 as an appendix. See the report at the following tDAR URL:

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. This table contains data from multiple sites with multiple features and associated strata. Thus, in this table, a stratum is identified by combining several numbering systems: an ASM site number, a colon, a feature number, and a stratum letter designation. EX: U:3:198:006A, U:3:198:006B 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 separate strata data tables. 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.

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.
BIGINT  Uncoded Value Ceramic : Count none none true
Fine corrugated Frequency of individual vessels identified as plain corrugated wares with a fine corrugated surface treatment. A plain ware vessel with a fine corrugated surface treatment has the following characteristics: "tan, grey, to brown paste, fine, patterned corrugations resembling shingles or siding, corrugations have not been obliterated, with or without colored wash or slip, no painted decorations" (A Laboratory Plan for Salado Research, pp. 3-14 -- 3-18 and 3-22 pp. 3-18). Examples include Heber and McDonald Corrugated. The Stage 1 Ceramic Analysis assigned ceramic sherds to distinct vessels and then identified individual vessels to major surface treatment groups.
