Maps

A small percentage of the maps reproduced from field data can be found in the series of published DAP reports, but a much larger collection of original material can be accessed via the Anasazi Heritage Center, Colorado. The maps dataset allows users to easily know what maps are available for any provenience. Maps were sequentially numbered within each site and later classified as one of 47 taxa, according to the type of information the map was meant to convey. Documenting the contents of a site was often a preliminary aspect of fieldwork, but multiple maps were often used to convey important stratigraphic and temporal information throughout the course of excavation. The dataset itself is not particularly robust and should be used as a catalog; having a well-formed idea about the kind of information one is looking for among the map documents will enable users to ascertain the availability of drawings on the subject and their provenience. Variables in the maps dataset have been described by Wilshusen et al. (1999); see the section in Chapter 4 by Michael P. Larkin. In most cases, his descriptions are suitable for use as metadata and have been repeated almost verbatim here. Selected resources from the collection of published and unpublished DAP reports may have been used for clarification in some cases and will be appropriately referenced.

少量基于野外数据复刻的地图可见于已出版的DAP报告系列中，而规模更为庞大的原始地图资料则可通过科罗拉多州阿纳萨齐遗产中心（Anasazi Heritage Center）获取。本地图数据集可帮助用户快速查询任意出土地点（provenience）对应的可用地图资源。每张地图会在所属遗址内按序列编号，后续根据其承载的信息类型被划分为47个分类单元（taxa）之一。记录遗址内容通常是野外考古工作的前置环节，但在发掘过程中，研究者往往会借助多幅地图传递关键的地层与年代学信息。本数据集本身的健壮性有限，仅适合作为目录使用；若用户能够明确自身在地图文档中需检索的信息类型，则可准确获知该主题相关绘图的可获取情况及其出土地点。本地图数据集的变量说明已由Wilshusen等人（1999）完成，详见Michael P. Larkin所撰写的第4章相关章节。在多数情况下，他的说明可直接用作元数据（metadata），本文几乎逐字转录了相关内容。部分场景下，为便于阐释，本文引用了已出版及未出版DAP报告馆藏中的精选资源，并将按规范标注来源。
