Uplands Complex Data: Plain Ware Ceramics from All Contexts

The Uplands Complex 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) research at 52 sites located in four study areas in the bajadas and foothill-transition zone that surround and define the Tonto Basin.The Uplands Complex Data 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 Uplands Complex sites.

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. Please see column metadata for further detail. Please also see the Uplands Complex Strata data tables for further data about each stratum, including the assigned stratum type, at the following tDAR urls:

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).

The Uplands Complex Data tables were originally published in the Roosevelt Platform Mound Monograph Series No. 5 titled "Classic Period Settlement in the Uplands of Tonto Basin, Roosevelt Platform Mound Study: Report on the Uplands Complex." The tables were published in an appendix at the end of the volume. Please see the report volume at the following tDAR URL: https://core.tdar.org/document/394286

高地复合体数据集表格汇总了亚利桑那州立大学（Arizona State University, ASU）文化资源管理办公室（Office of Cultural Resource Management, OCRM）开展的罗斯福平台土丘研究（Roosevelt Platform Mound Study, RPMS）项目的出土文物，该项目对环绕并界定汤顿盆地（Tonto Basin）的4个研究区内的山麓冲积扇与山麓过渡带中的52处遗址进行了调查。
本数据集表格《全出土背景素面陶器》汇总了高地复合体遗址所有调查出土背景（包括过筛与未过筛样品）中出土的素面陶容器。
本表格列有各遗址的考古遗址与指定考古出土背景——地层（strata）。地层代表主要的自然或文化沉积事件，如侵蚀堆积、屋顶坍塌堆积、居住面堆积与无菌底土层。哈里斯矩阵（Harris Matrix）中将地层表示为相互连接的横向方格行。本表格中，考古出土背景即地层的编号由多系统组合构成：ASM遗址编号、冒号、遗迹编号与地层字母标识（示例：U:3:198:006A、U:3:198:006B）。单个遗迹内的各地层以遗迹编号（如10、11、12等）与对应地层的字母标识（如A、B、C）命名，字母按降序排列。混合堆积层与非原位出土的文物以“？”标识。各遗迹（或混合出土背景）的文物将按地层进行统计。详细信息请查阅列元数据。如需了解各地层的类型等详细数据，请通过以下tDAR网址查阅《高地复合体地层》数据集表格：

本表格还提供了各地层中不同表面处理方式的素面陶容器个体的出现频次（计数）。需注意，本表格统计的是被归为特定素面陶表面处理类型的单个容器（即可归为单个容器的陶片群或单件陶片）的数量。第二阶段陶瓷诊断分析通常仅针对诊断性器部件：碗口沿、罐口沿/颈部、肩部与底部（在诊断性器部件数量较少的出土背景中，该分析范围扩展至陶身残片）。
