Livingston Management Group, Pinto Creek Complex Data: Decorated Ceramics from Screened Contexts

The Livingston Data 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 sites in the Livingston Management Group, Pinto Creek Complex.The Livingston table Decorated Ceramics from Screened Contexts presents a summary of decorated ceramic vessels recovered from excavated, screened contexts.

The table identifies each archaeological site by its Arizona State Museum (ASM) site number and its USFS Tonto Forest number (ASM number/last three digits of Tonto Forest number) (e.g., U:8:23/177). It lists designated archaeological contexts - strata - at the site, and then provides the frequency (count) of individual vessels assigned to different decorated ceramic types for each stratum. Note that the table presents a count of individual vessels (i.e., groups of sherds or single sherds assigned to individual vessels) identified to decorated ceramic type. More specifically, it presents a count of rim sherds that were assigned to a single vessel (The Stage 2 Ceramic Decorated/Intrusive analysis examined rim sherds to determine ceramic type for individually designated vessels).

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. 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 individual vessels assigned to different decorated ceramic types for each stratum. Note that the table presents a count of individual vessels (i.e., groups of sherds or single sherds assigned to individual vessels) identified to decorated ceramic type. More specifically, it presents a count of rim sherds that were assigned to a single vessel (The Stage 2 Ceramic Decorated/Intrusive analysis examined rim sherds to determine ceramic type for individually designated vessels).

利文斯顿数据集
本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）开展的罗斯福平台丘研究（Roosevelt Platform Mound Study, RPMS），在平托溪综合体（Pinto Creek Complex）利文斯顿管理组遗址开展发掘工作期间出土的人工制品。其中「筛选遗存装饰陶瓷」表格汇总了经发掘筛选的遗存中出土的装饰陶瓷容器。

本表格通过亚利桑那州立博物馆（Arizona State Museum, ASM）遗址编号与美国林务局通托国家森林编号（格式为ASM编号/通托森林编号后三位，例如U:8:23/177）来标识每个考古遗址。表格首先列出遗址内的指定考古遗存层位（地层），随后给出各层位中归属于不同装饰陶瓷类型的单个容器的数量（计数）。

请注意，本表格统计的是经装饰陶瓷类型鉴定的单个容器的数量（即归属于单个容器的陶片群或单块陶片）。更具体而言，本表格统计的是归属于单个容器的口沿陶片数量——第二阶段装饰陶瓷/侵入性分析通过对口沿陶片的检测，为单个认定的容器确定陶瓷类型。

这些地层代表了主要的自然或文化沉积事件，例如侵蚀堆积、屋顶塌落、居住面遗存以及无菌底土。地层在哈里斯矩阵（Harris Matrix）中以相互连接的横向方格行呈现。在一个遗迹单元内，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。混合层位与非原位采集的人工制品以「?」标注。各遗迹单元（或混合遗存）的人工制品将按地层进行统计。详细信息请参阅列元数据。

本表格再次列出各层位中归属于不同装饰陶瓷类型的单个容器的数量（计数）。请注意，本表格统计的是经装饰陶瓷类型鉴定的单个容器的数量（即归属于单个容器的陶片群或单块陶片）。更具体而言，本表格统计的是归属于单个容器的口沿陶片数量——第二阶段装饰陶瓷/侵入性分析通过对口沿陶片的检测，为单个认定的容器确定陶瓷类型。
