Constituent Roster Date Record
-methods and techniques -inc 2009-07-24 There are considerable differences among the tallies of sherds for J5. hQ added the entries on the pottery analysis spreadsheets for a total of 11,480. These data are directly formatted by a special program for entry into the unit books. After processing by the J5 JD programs, the total under Ware in the Frequencies section of the UGR is 11,251, while the total under Ceramic Lots in the J5 Log section of the UGR is 20,546. gB will look at the family of UGR programs to reconcile the differences.

q130 C6 2009-10-07 this q number was used in 2 different features, f93 and f112. After checking the record I found that q130 sits in f93. So, I gave the sherds in f112 a new q number which is q484. [Input: TX07HQ.j]
q130 K91 2009-10-07 THOSE NUMBERS ARE NOT FIXED YET ON THE REAL SHERDS. [Input: TX07HQ.j]
q204 C6 2009-07-24 several procedural errors occurred in the first days of the season with respect to the consequences of improperly writing labels on pottery lot tags. Pottery is processed by local workmen and women who have a limited command of English. When data such as the lot number and the date are not in their correct position on the tag prepared in the field, one number can easily be substituted for the other. In this case, the date, T721, was written in a space where the q-lot number, q291, normally appears. As a result, the pottery was recorded as belonging to q721. The error was not noticed until two months later when the pottery statistics were entered into the UGR. By this time the body sherds had been analyzed, recorded, and discarded and the count of the shape sherds in the most likely q-lot and feature number (q291 in f204) did not match the statistical entries. Field personnel must be alert to the possible problems associated with faulty labels and strive write correctly and neatly. [Input: T924JW.j]
q291 C6 2009-10-07 this q number was used in 2 fifferent features, f209 and f204. After checking the record I found that q291 sits in f204. So, I gave the sherds in f209 a new q number which is q485. [Input: TX07HQ.j]
q291 K91 2009-10-07 THOSE NUMBERS ARE NOT FIXED YET ON THE REAL SHERDS. [Input: TX07HQ.j]
q302 C6 2009-07-24 As a result of an attempt to correct faulty labeling in the field, the body sherds properly belonging to q291 of f204 were entered as part of q302 in f203. However, the consequences are slight, since both features were known Mittani ones excavated in preparation for a more extensive search for earlier deposits and stuctures. [Input: T924JW.j]
q379 C6 2009-10-07 this q number was used in 2 different features, f209 and f208, but after checking the UGR we found that this q number q379 was used in f244. So, I gave the sherds in f209 a new q number which is q486, and the sherds in f208 a new q number which is q487. [Input: TX07HQ.j]
q379 K91 2009-10-07 THOSE NUMBERS ARE NOT FIXED YET ON THE REAL SHERDS. [Input: TX07HQ.j]
