Uplands Complex Data: Shell Taxa 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 Shell Taxa from All Contexts presents a summary of the shell taxa of the shell 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/394287 https://core.tdar.org/dataset/394290 https://core.tdar.org/dataset/394289 https://core.tdar.org/dataset/394288 The table then provides the frequency (count) of shell artifacts with different shell taxon designations. Note that it provides a count of artifacts (NOT individual shell pieces) identified to individual taxa. Thus, a shell bracelet in 3 pieces identified to a shell taxon will count as 1 artifact for that taxon. 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.
