The first line of the file, for example, looks like this:
"La Florida","490","","(2)",4,57.1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,3,42.9,0,0,0, 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,7,100.0
The first context analyzed belongs to the "La Florida" valley, site "490", no site number, site category "(2)". There are 4 prismatic blades (57.1%), 0 macroblades (0%), 0 polyhedral cores (0%), 0 bifacial points (0%), 3 general debitage (42.9%), 0 scrapers (0%), 0 notched flakes (0%), 0 denticulates (0%), 0 drills (0%), 0 flake cores (0%), 0 choppers (0%) and 0 chopping tools (0%), with a total of 7 artifacts (100.0%). The quotation marks around "LaFlorida" and "489" indicate that these variables are alphanumeric and "" indicates the absence of data.
