Field Name: Nearest Water Source

Field Name: Distance from Water Source

Field Name: Elevation Type
Authority Terms:

1. Local
2. Above Sea level

Note: This field records the amount, measured in decimal degrees from true north, by which the y-axis, or base line of the local coordinate system in which the site was dug, deviates from true North.

Field Name: Total Area Excavated

Field Name: Total Convex Hull

The statistical definition for a convex hull is a set of points that form the smallest convex set that includes all of those points. In this case, a convex hull indicates the total area that the site based on the perimeter of the excavated units.

The convex hull of a site would look like this:

3. Not Applicable

Note: This field specifies the geodetic datum used in the coordinate system specified below in the Geo Coordinate System Field.

Field Name: Easting Geo Coordinate of Local Datum

Field Name: Vertical Geo Coordinate of Local Datum

Note: These three fields locate the local site datum in the real-earth coordinate system specified above (e.g. SPC Virginia North). The local site datum is the point on the site that serves as the origin (x=0, y=0, z=0) of the Cartesian coordinate system in which the site was excavated. For example, if elevations for the site are given above sea level, then the value for "Vertical Coordinate of Local Datum" should be 0. If the elevations for the site are given relative to an arbitrary 0-point on the site, then "Vertical Coordinate of Local Datum" should be the (estimated) elevation above sea level of that local 0-point.
