The data files below provide volumetric data from test pits.
[Comma delimited UTF-8 format]
[Excel format]
Each line in the CSV file represents one level per collection unit. There are 687 lines, each with 25 variables separated by commas. The variables are listed in the following order:
| 1 | Solare Number |
| 2 | Order |
| 3 | Year |
| 4 | Milpa |
| 5 | Test pit number |
| 6 | Structure |
| 7 | Lot |
| 8 | Level |
| 9 | North-east top: Measurements are cm below datum, with the datum being set at surface or a few centimeters above surface of the unit. |
| 10 | North-west top: Measurements are cm below datum, with the datum being set at surface or a few centimeters above surface of the unit. |
| 11 | Center top: Measurements are cm below datum, with the datum being set at surface or a few centimeters above surface of the unit. |
| 12 | South-east top: Measurements are cm below datum, with the datum being set at surface or a few centimeters above surface of the unit. |
| 13 | South-west top: Measurements are cm below datum, with the datum being set at surface or a few centimeters above surface of the unit. |
| 14 | North-east bottom: Measurements are cm below datum, with the datum being set at surface or a few centimeters above surface of the unit. |
| 15 | North-west bottom: Measurements are cm below datum, with the datum being set at surface or a few centimeters above surface of the unit. |
| 16 | Center bottom: Measurements are cm below datum, with the datum being set at surface or a few centimeters above surface of the unit. |
| 17 | South-east bottom: Measurements are cm below datum, with the datum being set at surface or a few centimeters above surface of the unit. |
| 18 | South-west bottom: Measurements are cm below datum, with the datum being set at surface or a few centimeters above surface of the unit. |
| 19 | Sum of differences: Measurements are cm below datum, with the datum being set at surface or a few centimeters above surface of the unit. |
| 20 | N elevs |
| 21 | Mean depth (cm) |
| 22 | Dimensions (m) |
| 23 | Area (m2) |
| 24 | Volume (m3) |
| 25 | Procedencia |
The first line of the CSV file, for example, looks like this:
349,1,2003,1,39,P-115b,1000,1,20,13,23,27,24,29,24,29,34,33,42,5,8.4,1*2,2,0.168,
This means that these volume measurements from a test pit in solare 349 and are ordered at number 1. The measurements were taken in 2003 from milpa 1, test pit 39, structure P-115b, lot 1000, level 1. This locality has measurements of 20 cm to the north-east top, 13 cm to the north-west top, 23 cm to the center top, 27 cm to the south-east top, 24 cm to the south-west top, 29 cm to the north-east bottom, 24 cm to the north-west bottom, 29 cm to the center bottom, 34 cm to the south-east bottom, and 33 cm to the south-west bottom. The test pit has a 42 cm sum of differences, a 5 cm N elevation, a mean depth of 8.4 cm, dimensions of 1m * 2m, an area of 2m2, and a volume of 0.168m3. There is no listed data for the procedencia of this test pit.
