The first line of the file, for example, looks like this:
"Vega","El Bosque","","IV/99","31,32,36,37","midden", 30, 24.4,35,28.5,1,0.8,1,0.8,39,31.7,9,7.3,0,0,0,0,0,0,6,4.9,1,0.8,0,0,0, 0,1,0.8,123,100
The first context analyzed belongs to the physiographic zone "Vega", subcommunity "El Bosque", no group. It belongs to the operation "IV/99", lot numbers "31,32, 36, 37" and the context is a "midden". There are 30 artifacts (24.4%) used in cutting or sawing wood or other plants. There are 35 artifacts (28.5%) used in whittling wood or other plants . There is 1 artifact (0.8%) used in grooving wood or other plants. There is 1 artifact (0.8%) used in boring wood or other plants. There are 39 artifacts (31.7%) used in cutting meat or hide. There are 9 artifacts (7.3%) used in scraping hide. There are 0 artifacts (0%) used in piercing meat or hide. There are 0 artifacts (0%) used in cutting or sawing shell, bone, or antler. There are 0 artifacts (0%) used in whittling shell, bone, or antler. There are 6 artifacts (4.9%) used in cutting or sawing unidentified material. There are 0 artifacts (0%) used in whittling unidentified material. There are 0 artifacts (0%) used in boring unidentified material. There are 0 artifacts (0%) used in whittling or scraping unidentified material. There is 1 artifact (1%) used in an unidentified action. Total of independent use zones (IUZ): 123 (100.0%). The quotation marks around "Vega" and "El Bosque" indicate that these variables are alphanumeric and "" indicates the absence of data.
The last (13th) line is:
"Vega","Principal Group","10L-1","V/63/7","","midden", 38,40.9,16,17.2,0,0, 0,0,28,30.1,8,8.6,0,0,0,0,0,0,2,2.2,1, 1.1,0,0,0,0,0,0,93,100
Which indicates the physiographic zone "Vega", subcommunity "Principal Group", group "10L-2". It belongs to the operation "V/63/7", no lot number and the context is a "midden". There are 38 artifacts (40.9%) used in cutting or sawing wood or other plants. There are 16 artifacts (17.2%) used in whittling wood or other plants . There are 0 artifacts (0%) used in grooving wood or other plants. There are 0 artifacts (0%) used in boring wood or other plants. There are 28 artifacts (30.1%) used in cutting meat or hide. There are 8 artifacts (8.6%) used in scraping hide. There are 0 artifacts (0%) used in piercing meat or hide. There are 0 artifacts (0%) used in cutting or sawing shell, bone, or antler.
