Ai Khanoum and Taxila Comparative Database

This dataset contains all artefacts in Ai Khanoum and Sirkap Mound of Taxila that I have deemed to be of religious affiliation or with religious imagery. I have also added information on material, provenance, chronology and other information. I also provide an architectural database with important buildings and blocks with information such as size, material, function etc. I have collected the entries from relevant bibliography and have added the information into discernible categories for data analysis. There are multiple description categories which allow for statistical analysis as well as coordinates which allow for mapping the information on the sites to make distribution maps. Information like material, provenance, chronology etc for both items and buildings allows for making correlations and heatmaps for the sites and the artefacts on the database. There is also information on possible mythological interpretations for the artefacts and possible functions for the buildings described. These help connect quantitative and qualitative analysis by ground interpretations to artefact frequency.

本数据集收录了我在阿伊·哈努姆和塔克西拉的西尔卡普土丘中认为具有宗教属性或宗教图像的所有文物。此外，我还添加了关于材质、来源、年代及其他信息的描述。同时，我还提供了一个建筑数据库，其中包含重要建筑和建筑块，并提供了诸如大小、材质、功能等信息。我收集了相关文献中的条目，并将信息分类整理以供数据分析。数据集包含多个描述类别，便于进行统计分析，并提供坐标以便于将信息映射到实地，制作分布图。关于物品和建筑的材料、来源、年代等信息，有助于进行相关性分析和热图制作，以反映数据库中的文物和遗址。此外，还包含了关于文物的可能神话解读以及描述建筑的潜在功能。这些信息有助于将基于地面的定量和定性分析通过文物频率连接起来。
