| DOUBLE | Measurement (other) | uncategorized | none | none | true | |
| Major | Length of major axis of a best fit ellipse fitted to the charcoal fragment (µm). | |||||
| DOUBLE | Measurement (other) | uncategorized | none | none | true | |
| Perim. | Perimeter of charcoal fragment (µm). | |||||
| DOUBLE | Measurement (other) | uncategorized | none | none | true | |

| VARCHAR | Uncoded Value | uncategorized | none | none | true | |
| Fragment_Num | Fragment number. Restarts at 1 for each new column sample. | |||||
| VARCHAR | Uncoded Value | uncategorized | none | none | true | |
| Sample | Sample number for each charcoal observation. The number is broken into four parts: Country, Region, Column Sample, Level. For example, SP_NV_11_1 refers to Spain, The Canal de Navarrés study region, column sample number 11, and level 1 (lowest level) in that column. | |||||
| VARCHAR | Uncoded Value | uncategorized | none | none | true | |
| Index | Index number for each charcoal observation. | |||||
| BIGINT | Uncoded Value | uncategorized | none | none | true | |
| AR | Aspect Ratio (major axis/minor axis of best fit ellipse) of each charcoal fragment. | |||||
| DOUBLE | Uncoded Value | uncategorized | none | none | true | |
| Max | Maximum color value of the charcoal fragment (scale 0-255). | |||||
| BIGINT | Uncoded Value | uncategorized | none | none | true | |
| Upper_BP | Calibrated radiocarbon age of the upper position within the level excavated from the sediment column. For a level excavated between 100 and 110 centimeters below the surface (CMBS), 100 CMBS would be the upper measurement. | |||||

| Circularity | Circularity of the charcoal fragment (calculated as 4π*area/perimeter^2). | |||||
| DOUBLE | Measurement (other) | uncategorized | none | none | true | |
| Gravels_category | Qualitative category assigned to each excavated sediment column level to describe the amount of alluvial gravels present. Fines refers to fine sediments with few gravels; Transitional refers to some gravels and some fines; and Gravels refers to mostly alluvial gravels. | |||||
