ExcavationInstructions on Viewing Different Excavation
Contexts Each excavated context has two or three different
screen views associated with it, depending upon the context type. On
the right side of each of these screens is a set of buttons which allows
you to navigate between screen views. Following is a list of the
different screen views that may be available to you. For information
on navigating to a specific context, see Finding
an Excavation Context.
Master Screen When you navigate to a specific
excavation context, the first screen of information to appear is the
Master Screen. This screen presents a top-level view of all the
information about that context. On the top right of the screen are the
name, type, and dimensions of the context. Also in the upper right
corner of the screen is a map of the site showing the location of the
excavation context.
On the left side of the screen is a graphics
window. The first image that you will see is a map of the context
after excavation. Below the graphics window is the caption.
There are typically two to six images (i.e., maps or photographs)
associated with each context. To move between the images, click on the
large right arrow to the right of the image under the heading Graphics.
This will call up the next image in the series. If you continue to
click on the right arrow you will move though the entire series of
images. The left arrow will move backwards through the images.
You also can activate a slide show which automatically displays all
associated images in sequence. To do this, simply click on the small
right arrow just below the large graphics arrows. To interrupt the
slide show, click on the button with the black box just to the left of
the small right arrow.
Many of the images have hotlinks that are defined on the image itself. Some of these
links occur on maps and allow you to link to other illustrated contexts
or artifacts; other links occur on excavation photographs and let you
view more detailed images of artifacts visible in the photograph. When
you move your mouse over a hotlink on an image, the cursor will change
to a magnifying glass and a description of the hotlink will appear in
the Zoom To field. When the mouse cursor is a magnifying glass you can
click to navigate to that link. See Using
Graphics for more information.
Many
excavated contexts are directly associated with other contexts. A list
of the associated contexts appears in the Link To field. You can
double click on any context name in the list to link to that context.
See Finding an Excavation Context for more information on using the Map.
Artifacts Screen This screen provides detailed
information about the artifacts that were recovered from a given
excavated square, feature, or structure. At the top of the screen is a
field which lists the excavated contexts within that square, feature,
or structure, and the number of artifacts associated with it. A red
check mark to the right of an entry indicates that one or more of the
artifacts from that context have associated photographs.
You
can click on any one of the contexts to view a list of all artifacts
found in that context. This list will appear in the lower part of the
screen and includes artifact type, size, count, and catalog number. A
red check mark to the right of an entry indicates that it was
photographed. Such an entry is also colored blue, indicating that it
is hotlinked to the photograph. Simply click on the blue text to view
the photograph. See Using Graphics for more information.
If the entry has a red
arrow to the right of it, then you can click on the arrow to view more
detailed information about that artifact (or artifacts). See Artifact Databases for more
information.
Description Screen This
screen provides a detailed, written description of the excavated
context. See Using the Text Chapters for more information on navigating within this
screen.
