Subclass of:

• crmsci:S16 State

Scope note:

This class comprises the states of instances of E18 Physical Things of being partially or completely embedded at a particular position with relative stability in one or more A2 Stratigraphic Volume Units. Normally, an embedding is expected having been stable from the time of generation on of the first A2 Stratigraphic Volume Unit that surrounds it. However, it may also be due to later intrusion. As an empirical fact, the expert may only be able to decide that a particular embedding is not recent, i.e., has been persisting for longer than the activity that encountered it. This class can be used to document the fact of embedding generally with respect to the surrounding matter or more specifically with respect to a more precise position within this matter. It further allows for specifying temporal bounds for which a particular embedding has been existing as specified according to evidence.

Examples:

The excavator declared the post holes [7] and [8] in Figure 4 to be part of one building

In First Order Logic:

• A7(x) ⇒ S16(x)

Outgoing properties:

• crmarc:AP17 is found by (found) (0,1:0,n) → crmsci:S19 Encounter Event
• crmarc:AP18 is embedding of (is embedded) (0,1:0,n) → crm:E18 Physical Thing
• crmarc:AP19 is embedding in (contains embedding) (0,1:0,n) → crmarc:A2 Stratigraphic Volume Unit
• crmarc:AP20 is embedding at (contains) (0,1:0,n) → crm:E53 Place
