The Tai is a Neolithic archaeological site in France. Three sectors were distinguished: the North entrance, the South entrance and the Cave. This dataset regards the refitting 'connection' relationships between pottery fragments found during excavations led by Claire Manen in the Cave sector. A connection relationship refers to a physical connection between two fragments that were part of the same object.
The dataset includes two tables:
tai.cave.connection: connection relationships between fragments.
tai.cave.fragments: information about the fragments.
data(TaiCave)tai.cave.connection is a 91x2 matrix. Each line describes a connection relationship between two fragments. Their unique identifiers are given in column 'id1' and in column 'id2', respectively.
tai.cave.fragments is 112x7 data frame:
id: fragment unique identifier
layer: stratigraphic layer
sherd_size: size class of the pottery sherd (nb: the numeric value is not metrical)
sherd_thickness: thickness of the pottery sherd in millimeter
x: x coordinates of the location where the pottery sherd was found (in centimetres)
y: y coordinates of the location where the pottery sherd was found (in centimetres)
z: z coordinates of the location where the pottery sherd was found (in centimetres)
