The first line of the file, for example, looks like this:
"Vega","El Bosque","","","IV/99","31,32,36,37","midden", 75,61.0,1,0.8,9,7.3,36,29.3,1,0.8,0,0,0,0,1,0.8,123,100.0
The first context analyzed belongs to the physiographic zone "Vega", subcommunity "El Bosque", no group. There is no structure, platform or plaza number. It belongs to the operation "IV/99", lot numbers "31,32,36,37" and the context is a "midden". From this context there are 75 artifacts (61.0%) for cutting or sawing, 1 artifact (0.8%) for grooving, 9 artifacts (7.3%) for scraping, 36 artifacts (29.3%) for whittling, 1 artifacts (0.8%) for boring, 0 artifacts (0.0%) for piercing, 0 artifacts (0.0%) for scraping or whittling and 1 artifacts (0.8%) of an unidentified motion. The quotation marks around "Vega", "El Bosque", "IV/99" indicate that these variables are alphanumeric and "" indicates the absence of data.
The last (13th) line is:
"Vega","Principal Group","10L-1","Great Plaza","V/63/7", "","midden",68,73.1,0,0,8,8.6,17,18.3, 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,93,100.0
Which indicates the physiographic zone "Vega", subcommunity "Principal Group", group "10L-1", structure "Great Plaza". It belongs to the operation "V/63/7", there is no lot number and the context is a "midden". From this context there are 68 artifacts (73.1%) for cutting or sawing, 0 artifacts (0.0%) for grooving, 8 artifacts (8.6%) for scraping, 17 artifacts (18.3%) for whittling, 0 artifacts (0.0%) for boring, 0 artifacts (0.0%) for piercing, 0 artifacts (0.0%) for scraping or whittling and 0 artifacts (0.0%) of an unidentified motion. The quotation marks around "Vega", "Principal Group", "10L-1" indicate that these variables are alphanumeric and "" indicates the absence of data.
