Methodology: Recording Fragments and Butchery Marks
and Creating Data Records.
|

|
Working within a blank layer, the fragment outline is drawn over the template
on all the views as appropriate. This layer is then saved in a directory
specifically for all the fragments (as opposed to another specifically for
the butchery data or a general directory) so the files are grouped together
and may be easily identified and recovered at a later stage as may be required
for analysis. Familiarity with the program and the layer format means a number
of shortcuts to the recording process can be adopted to speed up data recording.
For example, using a copy of the line template as a base for a fragment to
redrawing bone outlines and the copying of previously recorded, similar
fragments, modifying them as necessary and then resaving as a new fragment
file.
Figures 4 (a), (b) and (c) (below) illustrate this procedure and the accompanying
evaluation material demonstrate the process specifically.
