Entity-Attribute Overview |
This database consists of the sieve analysis (particle size distribution) of samples collected while completing field work. The table represents the cummulative % of material retained on each sieve. The analysis is meant to give a general idea about the textural characteristic of a deposit, it is not meant to summarize an entire area/deposit. These data can be related to their site locations, stored in the fieldobs shapefile, by relating on the field_id field in nicsieve.dbf and the field_stop field in fieldobs. |
