The first line of the file, for example, looks like this:
"Montana","Algodonal","","","","IV/54","midden", 6,18.8,1,3.1,14,43.8,10,31.3,1,3.1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,32,100.0
The first context analyzed belongs to the physiographic zone "Montana", subcommunity "Algodonal", no group, site type or structure. It belongs to the operation "IV/54" and the context is a "midden". From this context there are 6 artifacts (18.8%) for cutting or sawing, 1 artifact (3.1%) for grooving, 14 artifacts (43.8%) for scraping, 10 artifacts (31.3%) for whittling, 1 artifacts (3.1%) for boring, 0 artifacts (0.0%) for piercing, 0 artifacts (0.0) for chopping, 0 artifacts (0.0%) for scraping or whittling and 0 artifacts (0.0%) of an unidentified motion; with a total of 32 independent use zones (100.0%). The quotation marks around "Vega", "El Bosque", "IV/99" indicate that these variables are alphanumeric and "" indicates the absence of data.
The last (28th) line is:
"Vega","PrincipalGroup","10L-1","","GreatPlaza","39/I/372", "midden", 71,84.5,0,0,8,9.5,3,3.6,0,0,0,0,2,2.4,0,0,0,0,84,100.0
