Database E.4 Codebook (web ver.1.1) of Individual Records of Measurements of Permanent Dentitions in Adolescents and Adults


     Explanation of Abbreviations and Codes

     SPECID = Individual Burial Number
         First number is excavation locale
             1 = BC, 1974 excavation
             2 = BCES, 1975 excavation

         followed by two spaces and then the burial identification number.
            Example: 1 14 is BC Burial 14

     AGE
         ADOL = Adolescent (15-20 years)
         YG ADULT = Young Adult (20-35 years)
         MIDAGE = Middle-aged Adult (35-50 years)
         OLD = Old Adult (50+ years)
         ADULT = Adult (20-50+ years)

     SEX = Sex of individual, ?female coded as FEMALE, ?male coded as MALE

     SITE = Site of excavation

     YEAREXAM = Year burial was examined

     INSTCODE = Institution where burial was examined
         UHM = University of Hawaii at Manoa

Diameters measured to the nearest tenth of a millimeter. Cross-sectional areas calculated by computer to two places to the right of the decimal point.

     Each of the variables  is composed of three parts:
         First Part:
             U = Upper; L = Lower
             R = Right; L = Left
         Second Part:
             M3 = Third molar
             M2 = Second molar
             M1 = First molar
             P4 = Fourth premolar
             P3 = Third premolar
             C = Canine
             LI = Lateral incisor
             CI = Central incisor
         Third Part:
             MD = Mesio-distal diameter
             BL = Buccal-lingual diameter
             CX = Cross-sectional area

     Example: URM3MD is the upper right third molar mesio-distal diameter.

     TS3 = Individual's tooth summary
