As explained in Grammar, chronometry is the section where we dimension the emplacemet data according to the time intervals that can be deduced from the depositional inferences.

The sequence

There is first an overall presentation of the sequence as a whole, with an overview of the phases and strata. Reference is also made to the particular generation of the stratigraphic sequence used and to the to MZ frame.

Each phase is described in terms of its relationship to the other phases, i.e., as a successive moment in the overall scalar sequence.

The individual phases

Then there is a detailed analysis of the major elements (structures, installations, objects, etc.) belonging to each phase.

Where warranted, larger bodies of data, such as ceramics and faunal remains, are discussed separately for each phase.
