Fuxin Settlement Dataset |
This dataset serves as a complement to publications derived from regional survey and excavations carried out in the Fuxin area of Western Liaoning Province, China by the Fuxin Project (the Origins of Agriculture and Sedentary Communities in Northeast China). It provides the location and counts of different types of cultural remains and features recorded during the 2012-2013 regional survey and 2015 excavation field seasons.

A brief description of field methods and the form used during survey are provided as PDF files.
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:
Lab reports by independent contractors are provided as either PDF or Excel files as they were presented by each corresponding lab.
Spatial information is provided as AutoCAD (Release 12) .DXF files which can be read by many CAD and GIS programs. AutoCAD drawing units are in meters. The coordinate system for all spatial data is UTM Zone 51N (units are meters) based on the WGS84 datum.
