The Cuzoul de Gramat site is a prehistoric site located in France. This dataset describes the refitting 'connection' relationships between bone fragments found during the excavation of Mesolithic layers from the 'Cave' sector of the site. Connection relationship refers to physical connection between two bone fragments that were part of the same object.
The dataset includes two tables:
cuzoul.cave.connection: connection relationships between fragments.
cuzoul.cave.fragments: information about the fragments.
data(CuzoulCave)cuzoul.cave.connection is a 66x2 matrix. Each line describes a connection relationship between two fragments. Their unique identifiers are given in column 'id1' and in column 'id2', respectively.
cuzoul.cave.fragments is 125x9 data frame:
id: fragment unique identifier
layer: stratigraphic layer
sub.layer: stratigraphic sub-layer
thickness: thickness of the fragment (in centimetre)
length: length of the fragment (in centimetre)
surface: approximated surface of the fragment, product of the thickness by the length (in square centimetre)
x: x coordinate of the grid square where the bone fragment was found (in centimetre)
y: y coordinate of the grid square where the bone fragment was found (in centimetre)
z: approximated z coordinate of the location where the bone fragment was found (in centimetre)
