Uplands Complex Data: Groundstone 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 table Groundstone from All Contexts presents a summary of the groundstone artifacts 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:

https://core.tdar.org/dataset/394288

The table then provides the frequency (count) of different groundstone artifacts for each stratum.

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（Uplands Complex）数据集》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）开展的罗斯福平台丘研究（Roosevelt Platform Mound Study, RPMS）项目中，在环绕并界定汤托盆地（Tonto Basin）的洪积扇带与山麓过渡带的4个研究区的52处遗址中出土的遗物概况。其中"所有出土背景下的磨制石器"数据表（Groundstone from All Contexts），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本）中出土的磨制石器类遗物。

该数据表列有考古遗址及各遗址指定的考古出土背景——地层（strata）。地层代表主要的自然或文化沉积事件，例如侵蚀堆积、屋顶塌落、居住面遗存及无文化堆积的基底。地层在哈里斯矩阵（Harris Matrix）中以相互连接的盒状水平行呈现。本数据表中，考古出土背景（地层）由多组编号组合标识：考古遗址编号（ASM site number）、冒号、遗迹编号、地层字母标识（示例：U:3:198:006A、U:3:198:006B）。在单个遗迹内部，各地层以遗迹编号（如10、11、12等）加代表特定地层的字母（如A、B、C）标识，字母按降序分配。混合层位与出土背景不明的遗物以"？"标注。各遗迹（或混合出土背景）下的遗物按地层进行计数统计。详细信息请参阅列元数据（column metadata），各地层的详细数据（包括分配的地层类型）请参阅以下tDAR网址对应的《高地复合体地层》数据表：

https://core.tdar.org/dataset/394290
https://core.tdar.org/dataset/394289
https://core.tdar.org/dataset/394288

该数据表同时提供了各地层下不同磨制石器类遗物的出现频率（计数）。

高地复合体数据集最初发表于《罗斯福平台丘专论系列》第5号，题为《汤托盆地高地的古典时期聚落：罗斯福平台丘研究：高地复合体报告》，该数据表作为附录刊载于该卷末尾。完整报告卷本的tDAR访问网址为：https://core.tdar.org/document/394286
