Data Table Summary

Count of Fields (Columns): 99
Count of Rows: 20913
Description: This is the main data table describing measurements of zooarchaeological specimen from several Epipaleolithic - Chalcolithic sites in Anatolia. These data integrated and published in Open Context represent one outcome of the Encyclopedia of Life Computational Data Challenge a project led by Benjamin Arrbuckle in collaboration with the zooarchaeologists listed here.

To promote interoperability and facilitate reuse Open Context editors annotated these data with Encyclopedia of Life (EOL) and UBERON identifiers.

These data presented in this table mainly represent annotations (conducted by Open Context editors and checked by data contributors) of measurements made the contributing researchers. Only those measurements that align to widely used zooarchaeological osteometric conventions are represented in this table. Open Context editors related measurement data to the "Open Context Zooarchaeology" ontology / controlled vocabulary to facilitate comparison across projects. Datasets as originally described by the contributing researchers are also available by following links to project documentation.

Note: Open Context editors generated this updated table in response to updates provided by contributors. Arek Marciniak provided additional context information for Çatalhöyük Area TP. This table includes only records of bones from more secure contexts. In addition this table includes records from Menteşe Höyük. Please see this related table for an earlier version of these data.

Note: In general, Open Context is a dynamic and frequently updated database. However, this data table is a static and unchanging externally stored file. Unless otherwise indicated, the content of this data table file will not change even after updates to the Open Context database.
