Filandia Settlement Dataset

Luis Gonzalo Jaramillo E., Elizabeth Ramos Roca,
Julián Andrés Escobar Tovar



This dataset complements the book Arqueología regional en el Cauca Medio: La ocupación humana prehispánica en Filandia by Luis Gonzalo Jaramillo E., Elizabeth Ramos Roca, and Julián Andrés Escobar Tovar (available from the University of Pittsburgh Center for Comparative Archaeology). It provides counts of ceramic and lithic artifacts, as well as maps, drawings, and photographs derived from survey and excavations carried out within the area of Filandia in the Middle Valley of the Cauca River of Colombia (1997-1998) and discussed in full in the printed volume.

Numeric Data

Numeric data are provided in two file formats. Comma-delimited text files should be easy to import into spreadsheet, database, and statistical programs for manipulation and analysis. Excel spreadsheets are easier to browse, and can also be imported into many programs. The numeric data files are as follows:
