The Fumane Cave is a Paleolithic archaeological site in Italy. This dataset describes the refitting 'connection' relationships between lithic fragments found during excavations. A connection relationship refers to a physical connection between two fragments that were part of the same object.
The dataset is composed of two tables:
fumane.connection: connection relationships between fragments.
fumane.fragments: information about the fragments.
data(Fumane)fumane.connection is a 262x2 matrix. Each line describes a connection relationship between two fragments. Their unique identifiers are given in column 'id1' and in column 'id2', respectively.
fumane.fragments is 508x8 data frame:
id: fragment unique identifier
us: stratigraphic layer
square: excavation grid square where the fragment was found
sub_square: excavation grid subsquare where the fragment was found
thickness: thickness of the fragment (in millimeter)
length: length of the fragment (in millimeter)
width: width of the fragment (in millimeter)
volume: approximated volume of the fragment, product of the thickness by the length by the width (in cubic millimeter)
