In Class Assignment

Strengths and weaknesses of the spreadsheet "paradigm" for recording artifact data

These objects or groups of objects are from Mississippian sites in Arkansas.

Your assignment is to develop a spreadsheet based "database" structure and enter the objects and their relevant attributes into this structure. The structure should have one row for each object (there may be more than one object in an image) and a number of columns in which attribute observations can be entered. Add columns of key attributes even though you may not be able to observe them from the image (e.g weight or length perhaps).

You may use Excel or simply put them in a paper format. Be prepared, however, to discuss the results in class and turn in the structure.
