Livingston Data, AZ V:5:128 (ASM): Shell Artifacts from All Context

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, "Shell Artifacts from All Contexts," presents a summary of the shell artifacts recovered from all investigated contexts (both screened and unscreened) at the site.

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 shell artifact types for each stratum. Note that it provides a count of shell artifacts, and not individual pieces of shell.

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平台土丘研究（Roosevelt Platform Mound Study, RPMS）考古发掘中所出土的人工制品。

其中题为“各出土背景下的贝壳人工制品”的利文斯顿表格，汇总了该遗址所有调查发掘出土背景（包括过筛与未过筛遗存）中出土的贝壳人工制品。

该表格列出了各遗址的考古学点位及指定考古学出土背景——地层（stratum）。地层代表了主要的自然或文化沉积事件，例如侵蚀堆积、屋顶坍塌、居住面遗存以及无菌底土。在哈里斯矩阵（Harris Matrix）中，地层以相互连接的横向方格行进行呈现。

在本表格中，考古学出土背景——地层——通过多编号组合进行标识：ASM遗址编号（ASM site number）、冒号、遗迹编号以及地层字母标识（示例：U:3:198:006A、U:3:198:006B）。在单个遗迹内部，每个地层通过遗迹编号（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。混合层位与出土背景不明的人工制品以“？”进行标注。各遗迹（或混合出土背景）的人工制品将按地层进行统计。详细信息请参见列元数据。

该表格同时提供了各地层中不同类型贝壳人工制品的出现频次（计数）。请注意，此处统计的是贝壳人工制品的数量，而非单个贝壳残件。
