Typological index with Frequency Computations
Objects (excluding ceramics) and samples
typologically by definition

Processed on 2023-11-19
Included here are movable elements, which are
  • either artifactual (objects such as seals ans seal impression, figurines or ceramic vessels), or
  • natural (samples and specimens such as charred wood, animal bones or botanical remnants).
They include both items and q-items, a distinction that is based on stratigraphic criteria.
Sherds are excluded and listed elsewhere, because, given the large amounts in which they occur, they would unduly skew the frequencies.

The main typological categories (surfaces, build-up, etc.) are listed according to types as defined in the pertinent section of the Grammar.
