Livingston Data, AZ V:5:66 (ASM): Special Artifacts from All Contexts

The Livingston 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) excavations at Livingston Management Group, Pinto Creek Complex. The Livingston table, "Special Artifacts from All Contexts," presents a summary of fine, elaborate, rare, and/or otherwise special goods recovered from all investigated contexts (both screened and unscreened) at the site. In general, it presents a list of fine goods and other artifacts that received a Stage 3 Special analysis.

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.

The table then provides the frequency (count) of different special artifacts for each stratum. The table presents counts of special artifacts in the following artifact categories: bifaces, drills, and projectile points; large stone implements; ceramic manufacturing materials; disks and whorls (ceramic and stone); stone jewelry; shell jewelry; manuports (rare minerals or other stone objects); grinding implements, mortars, and pestles; and miscellaneous artifacts.

This data was originally published in the Roosevelt Platform Mound Monograph Series No. 3 as an appendix. See the report at the following tDAR URL:

利文斯顿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）在平托溪综合体（Pinto Creek Complex）利文斯顿管理组开展的罗斯福台丘研究（Roosevelt Platform Mound Study, RPMS）发掘过程中出土的遗物。
本次名为"各遗迹单位出土特殊遗物"的利文斯顿表格，汇总了该遗址所有调查遗迹单位（包括过筛与未过筛堆积）中出土的精美、精致、稀有及其他特殊器物。总体而言，该表格罗列了经第三阶段专项分析（Stage 3 Special analysis）的精美器物与其他遗物。

本表格列出了各个考古遗址及其指定的考古遗迹单位——地层（strata）。地层代表了主要的自然或文化堆积事件，例如侵蚀堆积、塌顶堆积、居住面遗迹以及无菌底土层。在地层学哈里斯矩阵（Harris Matrix）中，地层以相互连接的横向方框行呈现。本表格中，考古遗迹单位——地层——通过编号组合进行标识：ASM遗址编号、冒号、遗迹编号以及地层字母标识（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）与代表特定地层的字母（如A、B、C）进行标识，字母按降序分配。混合堆积与出土层位混乱的遗物以"？"标识。各遗迹（或混合堆积单位）出土的遗物将按地层进行统计。详细信息请参阅列元数据。

本表格同时提供了各地层出土各类特殊遗物的频次（数量）统计。表格对以下遗物类别的特殊遗物进行了数量统计：两面器（bifaces）、钻具（drills）与投射尖状器（projectile points）；大型石器（large stone implements）；制陶原料（ceramic manufacturing materials）；圆盘与纺轮（disks and whorls，陶瓷及石材制）；石质饰品（stone jewelry）；贝壳饰品（shell jewelry）；搬运石（manuports，稀有矿物或其他石器）；研磨工具、研磨臼与研磨杵（grinding implements, mortars, and pestles）；以及杂项遗物（miscellaneous artifacts）。
