How to Access and Use Information Contained in Files
Outside of the Report Software
While the authors of the
report have invested a great deal of time in the software to make it as
easy to use and as powerful as possible, there is no way that we can
anticipate all of the ways that archaeologists and researchers might
want to use the information contained in Excavating Occaneechi
Town. The solution that we have chosen is to provide all of the raw
data from this report in easy-to-use, widely accepted formats on the
CD-ROM.
The use of any of this information will require
separate, third-party software. The types of software that you might
need include a word processor, spreadsheet, database manager, image
viewer, and computer-aided design (CAD) program. Accessing this
information will also require some knowledge of how to use the software
and how to access files from the CD-ROM.
Here are just a few of
the reasons why you might want to access these separate data
files:
- Print out the maps at a different
resolution.
- Print out the data from the Detailed Artifact
databases.
- Do sophisticated queries or analyses of the artifact
data.
- Do additional analyses on the data in any of the
tables.
- Use the images in another publication (see our Fair Use
Policy).
- Format the text differently for presentation (see our
Fair Use Policy).
Below is a brief description of some of
the file types that we have made available. For more detailed
information on specific filenames and directories for finding these
files, along with a brief description of each file, see README.WRI
located in the root directory of the CD-ROM and FILES.TXT, also located
in the root directory of the CD-ROM.
- Text
Files
We have provided duplicates of all the text found
in this report in text files located on the CD-ROM. These files are
provided in three formats: (1) simple ASCII text format without any
formatting marks; (2) Write format, which includes formatting; and (3)
Microsoft Word, versions 6.0 and 7.0.
-
Tables
All of the data located in tables in this report
has been duplicated in text files on the
CD-ROM.
- Artifact Data
All of the
artifact data are located in dBase III and Paradox format files on the
CD-ROM.
- Graphics
All of the
images viewed in this report can be found on the CD-ROM in simple bitmap
format.
- Maps
We have provided
additional AutoCAD Exchange format files for all of the maps and feature
drawings found in this report. These files can be used to print out
the maps at higher resolution than we provide in the bitmap
files.
