All archaeological DEPOSIT contexts use the Deposit Context Recording Form. Instructions for completing this form are detailed in sections 5.2 and 5.3 of the UJAP Manual.

Form to Database Mapping

The following table maps each section and field in the Deposit Context Recording Form to its relevant node, property, and/or edge within the UJAP Database. For mappings that involve edges, note their direction(s)!! (edges may be incoming or outgoing and some form items are mapped using multiple edges/relationships with multiple nodes)
