Geometric data for tumuli in Dhar Tagant, Mauritania
- Documentation:
- This table includes geometric data for 276 apparent tumuli in Dhar Tagant, Mauritania that were recorded during a remote sensing survey. Various geometric measurements were taken for further analysis, and can be found in this table. The fields are as follows: Tumuli_ID: This is the ID number of the individual tumuli tumuli_diameter: The maximum diameter of the tumuli outterring_diameter: The maximum diameter of the outer ring, if present; tsArea: The actual area of the tumuli, in metres squared; tscArea: The area of tumuli as an idealised perfect circle; orArea: The actual area of the outer ring (if present), in metres squared; orcArea: The area of the outer ring as an idealised perfect circle; tumuli_index: A measure of roundness, by dividing the actual shape of the tumulus by an idealised circle; outerring_index: A measure of roundness, by dividing the actual shape of the outer ring by an idealised circle; distancefromcentrelines: A measure of how far the geometric center of the tumuli is from the geometric centre of the outer ring if one is present;
