This is an attempt to develop a standard presentation of each of the JT2007 sites. We have developed two sites along these guidelines: 44JC568-The Reverend Buck site and 44JC802-The George Sandys site. Please feel free to comment on the structure of the presentation.

Elements of the Web-based Presentation

1. A short introductory narrative describing:
   1. site location,
   2. the group and individuals who undertook the project,
   3. the location of the collection,
   4. the status of the collection, data, and analysis--particularly the status of any digital data (is the catalog in a computer database?, is there a digital site plan?),
   5. the name of and way to reach the contact person, and
   6. an overall picture of the site or image of an important artifact (used to add interest to the introductory page).
   Most of this information is included in the site write-ups that have already been submitted. This introduction should be around 200 words.
   
   
2. A short historical background focusing on
   1. area perspective,
   2. specific ownership history (including land patents), and
   3. historical individuals likely associated with site.
   This should be limited to a paragraph or two and can be augmented with a historical image.
   
   
3. A site plan and summary of significant archaeological features. This includes:
   1. an archaeological overview summarizing important features (1 paragraph)
   2. a site plan (map) in one of the following formats
      • a digitized map (AutoCAD)
      • vector illustration (Illustrator, Corel Draw)
      • bitmap image or scan of map
      • paper (we can scan it or digitize it depending on complexity)
      The map should include all features (if possible). Features discussed in the text should be highlighted on the map or listed separately (we can highlight them). We would like lines connecting structural postholes.
   3. individual descriptions of the site's major features. Detail its dimensions, shape, interpreted function, and description of fill sequence (rapid fill vs. slow fill). Each feature summary should be a paragraph or less.
   4. Site phases: This comes in two parts: 1) a preliminary phase overview (a paragraph) and 2) a description of each phase with highlighted areas on the map (We can create the individual maps if a list of each phase's features is provided.)
   
   
   
4. A table of artifact data that consists of artifact counts by feature (and layer if possible). This inventory should contain counts of:
   1. pottery by ware
   2. European pipes by bore diameter, number of unmeasureable stem fragments, and bowls and bowl fragments
   3. Locally made terra cotta pipes, and
   4. glass by case bottle, wine bottle, and tableware
