Chauzey is an open-air Palaeolithic site located in France. This dataset describes the refitting 'connection' relationships between lithic fragments found during excavations. Connection relationship refers to physical connection between two fragments that were part of the same object.
The dataset is composed of two tables:
chauzeys.connection: connection relationships between fragments.
chauzeys.fragments: information about the fragments.
data(Chauzeys)chauzeys.connection is a 1879x2 matrix. Each line describes a connection relationship between two fragments. Their unique identifiers are given in column 'id1' and in column 'id2', respectively.
chauzeys.fragments is a 2167x9 data frame:
id: fragment unique identifier
layer: chronocultural unit associated to the fragment was found. Values are numbered in expected chrono-stratigraphic order
volume: estimated volume of the fragment computed as width by thickness by length
width: width of the fragment (in millimeter)
thickness: thickness of the fragment (in millimeter)
length: length of the fragment (in millimeter)
x: x coordinate of the location where the lithic fragment was found (in metre)
y: y coordinate of the location where the lithic fragment was found (in metre)
z: z coordinate of the location where the lithic fragment was found (in metre)
