Archaeology Database Development Meeting Notes
Jan 7, 2010
Present: Scot Anderson, Michael Hasel, Justo Morales
Topics Discussed:
Topics Reviewed: Work on database up to this point
- Datamodel
- Site/field information
- Time investment
- Earth Locus
Notes:
- Pottery Bucket Reading Information is not on one of the forms and will be different from what we have on MPP documentation.
- We discussed how to record elevations for pottery buckets separate from daily elevations for the locus. After discussion, Michael indicated that we did not need to collect intermediate elevations for the bucket. In the future this may change though.
Noticed that "Location" should really be replaced by "Point Number" on several point (MPP->New designation).
We discussed some issues about the PhotoApplicationSpecifications - see the notes on that page.
The designation in the identification section should be a drop down that equates to what the locus actually "is". These are equivalent symbols in the levels section. Therefore the dropdown in the levels should be taken from here. This will be an item on the ProgramChangeRequests page.
Customer Todo Items
Justo: Will get me information for the pottery reading fields and the type by which the pottery is classified.
