Description

This is the main data table describing measurements of zooarchaeological specimen from several Epipaleolithic - Chalcolithic sites in Anatolia. These data integrated and published in Open Context represent one outcome of the Encyclopedia of Life Computational Data Challenge a project led by Benjamin Arrbuckle in collaboration with the zooarchaeologists listed here.

To promote interoperability and facilitate reuse Open Context editors annotated these data with Encyclopedia of Life (EOL) and UBERON identifiers.

These data presented in this table mainly represent annotations (conducted by Open Context editors and checked by data contributors) of measurements made the contributing researchers. Only those measurements that align to widely used zooarchaeological osteometric conventions are represented in this table. Open Context editors related measurement data to the "Open Context Zooarchaeology" ontology / controlled vocabulary to facilitate comparison across projects. Datasets as originally described by the contributing researchers are also available by following links to project documentation.
