The table “assemblage” and its attributes.
The first two attributes specify the locality and a unique identification number for each assemblage at that locality. The attribute ‘name’ contains a unique name that identifies the assemblage, e.g. Layer VI lithics or Horizon B human remains. The attribute ‘category’ lists which tables in ROAD contain further information about the assemblage. If an assemblage consists of stone artifacts, the ‘lithic piece count’ reflects the total number of artifacts contained in that assemblage. The degree to which an assemblage was collected systematically is scored (0–3) according to the sampling procedure, while its representativeness (0–3) is scored to consider any bias in collection.
