The first line of the ASCII text file, for example, looks like this:
1,1,79,0,0,0,0,2,0,0,0,0,2,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
This means that the ceramics belong to excavation unit 1, level 1. There were 79 total sherds found in this unit, 0 of the Selva Arenoso type, 0 of the Anita Fino type, 0 of the Africa type, 0 of the Tuís type, 2 of the the Tayutic type, 0 of the Cabaña Modelado type, 0 of the Guanacaste type, 0 of the R15 type, 0 of the R19 type, 2 of the R27 type, 0 of the R34 type, 1 of the R36 type, 0 of the R43 type, of the R46 type, 0 of the R51 type, 0 of the R55 type, 0 of the D62 type, 0 of the D64 type, and 0 of the D63 type.
