PastPerfect Design Software: Engineering the Virgin Branch Ceramic Typology in a Digital Age

Summary

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

Currently, there is no single, easily accessible source for researchers studying the Virgin Branch ceramic typology. The absence of such a source makes it difficult for researchers to consistently type ceramic artifacts. One solution to this problem is making access to these typological collections more accessible by utilizing the internet. This research demonstrates the benefits of representing the Virgin Branch typology through the use of a website that includes multiple-vessel images, photogrammetry links, and webpages for type definitions, along with assorted descriptions and explanations for the assemblages from archaeological literature with the use of a PastPerfect database design software.
