Eaton Artifact Tabulations

These Access Tables contain information on artifacts from the Eaton site. Four tables (Levels 1-4)and a fifth table (Extras) each contain records for 259 2m x 2m excavation units. Each of these tables contain 33 columns reflecting data categories (debris, utilized flakes, etc.). Levels 1 and 2 combined are the plow zone. Successive levels are 10 cm. in thickness. The Extras table contains data from any lower levels, features, or wall scrapings.
