Eaton site is a 16th century Iroquoian village in western New York State, USA. This dataset describes the refitting 'connection' relationships between fragments of lithic points found during excavations led by William Engelbrecht. Connection relationship refers to physical connection between two fragments that were part of the same object.
The dataset is composed of two tables:
eaton.connection: connection relationships between fragments.
eaton.fragments: information about the fragments.
data(Eaton)eaton.connection is a 115x2 matrix. Each line describes a connection relationship between two fragments. Their unique identifiers are given in column 'id1' and in column 'id2', respectively.
eaton.fragments is 229x5 data frame:
id: fragment unique identifier
x: x label of the grid square where the lithic fragment was found (square size is 2m x 2m)
y: y label of the grid square where the lithic fragment was found (square size is 2m x 2m)
feature: archaeological feature associated with the fragment is associated ('long house', 'midden', or 'outside').
level: archaeological level where the fragment was found (0 to 5, from top soil to bottom).
