Chifeng Settlement Dataset |
The data files EXCCERAM.TXT and EXCCERAM.XLS contain data on all ceramic variables for sherds from stratigraphic tests. EXCCERAMTOT.TXT and EXCCERAMTOT.XLS are abridged versions of these files which contain only the total number of sherds for each period.
Both EXCCERAM.TXT and EXCCERAMTOT.TXT are comma delimited ASCII text files, which should be easy to import into spreadsheet, database, and statistical programs for manipulation and analysis. EXCCERAM.XLS and EXCCERAMTOT.XLS contain the same data in the form of Excel spreadsheets, which are easier to browse, and can also be imported into many programs.
For both sets of files, each line represents one excavation unit (see Profiles from Stratigraphic Testing section of this dataset).
There are 730 lines, representing 730 excavations units, each with 12 variables separated by commas. The variables are, in the following order:
| 1 | Key--a combination of the site number (342 or 674), "X", and the excavation unit number for a unique text string that identifies each excavation unit |
| 2 | Total number of sherds |
| 3 | Total number of unknown (unclassified) sherds |
| 4 | Total number of modern sherds (post-Liao times) |
| 5 | Total number of Xinglongwa sherds |
| 6 | Total number of Zhaobaogou sherds |
| 7 | Total number of Hongshan sherds |
| 8 | Total number of Xiaoheyan sherds |
| 9 | Total number of Lower Xiajiadian sherds |
| 10 | Total number of Upper Xiajiadian sherds |
| 11 | Total number of Zhanguo-Han sherds |
| 12 | Total number of Liao sherds |
The first line of the ASCII text file, for example, looks like this:
342X001,101,12,0,0,0,0,0,43,46,0,0
This means that the ceramics belong to the excavation unit with the key 342X001. There were 101 sherds in total, out of which 12 were unclassified. There were 0 modern (post-Liao) sherds. The collection also yielded 43 Upper Xiajiadian and 46 Lower Xiajiadian sherds. No sherds from any other period were recovered.
The last, or 730th line of the ASCII text file is:
674X171,4,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,4,0,0
This means that the ceramics belong to the excavation unit with the key 674X171. There were 4 sherds in total, out of which 0 were unclassified. All 4 sherds were Upper Xiajiadian. No sherds from any other period were recovered.

This means that the ceramics belong to the excavation unit with the key 342X001. There were 101 sherds in total, out of which 12 were unclassified. There were no modern (post-Liao) sherd. The excavation unit produced 43 Lower Xiajiadian sherds, 1 of which was decorated with Basket Impressions, 8 with Rope impressions, 8 with Rope-impressed X or W, 1 with the Duiwen motif, and 4 were undecorated. This unit also produced 46 Upper Xiajiadian sherds, all of which were undecorated. No sherds from any other period were recovered in this unit.
The last, or 730th line of the ASCII text file is:

This means that the ceramics belong to the excavation unit with the key 674X171. There were 4 sherds in total, out of which 0 were unclassified. All 4 sherds belonged to the Upper Xiajiadian period, were undecorated, and their paste type is classified as "other." No sherds from any other period were recovered in this unit.
