Description

List of bones for the osteological analysis performed on the mass material from the Pitted ware culture site Ajvide, Eksta parish, Gotland, Sweden, in Alexander Sjöstrands PhD thesis "Changes, activities and bones".

The list of bones contains the base dataset from the osteological analysis with information on ID-number, x and y coordinates, layer, area, layer, burnt/unburned, taxa/species, bone element, bone part, part of the body, side, number of fragments, weight, size (divided into three categories, 0-25mm, 26-50mm, 51-75mm and larger than 75mm), bone id (only a few posts where bone fragments fit together and has been linked in the list of bones via a bone id), age (fused/unfused), age assessment, other comments, date for analysis, and 4 variables for the analysis of the osteological material from the 2017 excavation. Trench, which square, context and FFI (fracture freshness index)
