About this file

This file is an archaeological cataloging template for faunal (animal bone) analysis materials related to the PUHO (Pu'uhonua o Honaunau) project in Hawaii. The template establishes standardized data fields and formatting requirements for documenting animal bone specimens excavated from National Park Service lands, with instructions provided by Shane D. Rumsey as the contracting officer's representative.

The template requires contractors to catalog faunal remains using specific field designations including artifact identification numbers, taxonomic classification using common naming conventions, condition assessments (Complete, Fragment, Incomplete, Excellent, Good, Fair, or Poor), detailed physical measurements and weights, archaeological context information (grid location, site number, excavation depth), and comprehensive descriptive analyses documenting cultural modifications and element representation. Key data fields include accession numbers in specified formats, excavation dates and collector information, storage location and control property status, and detailed condition notes. The example entry demonstrates cataloging of Sus scrofa (pig) remains consisting of 12 bones totaling 4.5 grams from an archaeological site in Hawaii. The template indicates that certain columns are hidden and should not be completed by contractors, with required fields highlighted in blue, and notes that bulk cataloging by bag is permitted for large volumes of unidentifiable objects. This standardized approach ensures consistent documentation of archaeological materials for the Phase III faunal analysis component of the PUHO project.

This field should maintain the entry from the parent catalog. Options include (PREHISTORIC, HISTORIC, UNKNOWN) Rumsey, Shane D:

For this analysis "ANIMAL" will be the typical entry. If applicable, other entries include: COMPOSITE, HUMAN REMAINS, MINERAL, UNIDENTIFIED MATERIAL, & VEGETAL Rumsey, Shane D:

For this project "BONE" will be the typical entry. If applicable the following entries are also acceptable for Animal: Antler, Bone, Coral, Feather, Hair, Hide, Horn, Ivory, Other Animal Materials, Quill, & Shell Rumsey, Shane D:

This entry should follow this format to the most specific taxa ID'd, but using common (non latin) naming conventions.
