Subclass of:

• crm:E13 Attribute Assignment

Scope note:

This class comprises interpretive activities that lead to the recognition two or more instances of Stratigraphic Units (A8) or other Physical Thing (E18) that simultaneously exist at the time of this activity or at the time of an archaeological observation this activity refers to as source and that are attributed to be the remains of one complete instance of Physical Thing (E18) that had existed at a time of reference in the past. Instances of this class could be, for example: two stratigraphic units (with no evident contact) cut through by a ditch having been segments of the same original stratigraphic unit, two or more surviving parts of a structure having been segments of the same wall (B5), a number of postholes being the indication of a past wooden house or a number of potsherds being segments of the same original artefact.

Examples:

declaring post holes “[7]” and “[8]” in Figure 4 to be part of one building

grouping individual deposits forming the fill of the neolithic ditch (L14-18 and L22-24) in Trenches 6 and 21 at the archaeological site of Paliambela, Kolindros into larger stratigraphic entities or fill episodes –see Figure 10

In First Order Logic:

• A6(x) ⇒ E13(x)

Outgoing properties:

• crmarc:AP16 assigned attribute to (was attributed by) (0,1:0,n) → crm:E18 Physical Thing
