This data set contains bibliographic entries for articles published in the journal Philosophical Studies in the years 1999, 2005, 2007, 2009, 2015, 2017, and 2019, with classifications of which articles used formal methods. Those that did were further classified by what formal methods they used, the level of sophistication of those methods, and the subdiscipline(s) of philosophy to which they belong. The purpose of the data collection was to explore any trends in the use of formal methods over the time period indicated. The potential value of the data set for meeting this purpose lies in its potential to be representative of analytic Anglophone philosophy during the time period indicated. The data is now released because the study for which is was collected has concluded. The two primary data CSV files are the anonymized, master data set for analysis, and another deriving from it used for the calculation of interrater reliabilities. There is also a Python notebook file, with an html version, used to create the latter from the former. Finally, there is an R notebook with all the statistical analyses using the data sets, and a PDF describing in detail the procedure by which all these were generated, including the generation of various intermediate files (which are not included here). More details can be found in the README file.

This dataset is composed of the artifact inventory data and 3D models of the lithic artifact collection from the Early Upper Paleolithic open-air site of Tvaro��n��-Za ��kolou, also known as Tvaro��n�� X, at roughly 49��11���22.0���N by 16��46���19.6���E, near the modern city of Brno in the Czech Republic. The 3D models represent all of the retouched tools, complete flakes, and cores recovered during the 2008 and 2015 excavation seasons conducted by Dr. Gilbert Tostevin and Dr. Gilliane Monnier of the Department of Anthropology, University of Minnesota, in collaboration with Dr. Petr ��krdla of the Institute of Archaeology, Czech Academy of Science, Brno, Czech Republic. The lithic technology of this assemblage reflects a Bohunician core technology with a large diversity of raw material types, relative to other assemblages attributed to that Early Upper Paleolithic industrial type. The 3D collection is composed of 187 models out of the 645 artifacts (over 2.0 cm in maximal dimension) recovered from the piece-plotting and wet-sieving (through 3x3mm mesh) of the 39.75 square meter excavated portion of this site. All artifact models are freely available for download in the form of 3D PLY files. Specific questions about the site of Tvaro��n�� X, access to the physical collection, and additional materials may be addressed to Dr. Petr ��krdla at the Institute of Archaeology, Brno, Czech Republic (ps8a@seznam.cz). Questions about the data pertinent to the lithic attribute analysis should be addressed to Dr. Gilbert Tostevin (toste003@umn.edu) while questions about the microarchaeological study of the site should be addressed to Dr. Gilliane Monnier (monni003@umn.edu), both of the University of Minnesota. Refit analyses were accomplished by Dr. Petr ��krdla and raw material identifications were made by Dr. Anton��n P��ichystal (Department of Geology, Masaryk University, Czech Republic) and Dr. Petr ��krdla. Technical specifics about the 3D modeling process and file structure are provided in the collection���s ReadMe_TvaroznaX_3D.txt file.

Submarine channels convey turbidity currents, the primary means for distributing sand and coarser sediments to the deep ocean. In some cases, submarine channels have been shown to braid, similarly to rivers. Yet the strength of the analogy between the subaerial and submarine braided channels is incompletely understood. This data set includes topography, image, and flow model data for six experiments with subaqueous density currents and two experiments with subaerial rivers. The experiments were conducted to quantify (1) submarine channel kinematics, and (2) the responses of channel and bar geometry to subaerial versus submarine basin conditions, inlet conditions, and the ratio of flow-to-sediment discharge (Qw/Qs).The data set accompanies a 2018 publication in the journal Sedimentology. This data set includes topography and image data for laboratory experiments involving turbidity currents and rivers, conducted at St. Anthony Falls Laboratory, University of Minnesota, in 2015-2017.

The details pertaining to each dataset are provided in the referenced publications.

These data were generated as part of a study investigating the use of quantitative methods on three dimensional models of lithic artifacts. The majority of the data set is comprised of 3D scans of Ch��telperronian and Protoaurignacian cores from the site of Les Cott��s (France), which were generated using photogrammetry. Although cores from the site of Roc de Combe were also scanned for the associated study, we are not able to make them available here due to rights restrictions. The second part of the data set includes two dimensional representations of cross sections, which were from the 3D artifact models. These were used in two analyses, which are described in the associated publication (PUBLICATION INFORMATION FORTHCOMING PENDING PEER REVIEW).

The data set consists of three-dimensional (3D) models of experimentally produced lithic artifacts created using both expedient and refined photogrammetric setups and processing protocols. Source images for all models were captured using a 12.1 megapixel Canon PowerShot SX260 HS compact digital camera. In our expedient protocol, objects were placed on a wire stand. The photographer moved around the object, and captured photos using Auto mode. In our refined protocol, objects were placed on a rotating turntable under controlled lighting conditions. The camera was placed on a tripod. Shutter speed, f-stop, and ISO were set manually. This refined protocol is described in Porter, S. T., Roussel, M., & Soressi, M. (2016). A Simple Photogrammetry Rig for the Reliable Creation of 3D Artifact Models in the Field Lithic Examples from the Early Upper Paleolithic Sequence of Les Cott��s (France). Advances in Archaeological Practice, 4(1), 71-86. The associated paper discusses the relative fidelity of the models produced using these different workflows. Models may also be viewed online (in browser) at: https://sketchfab.com/unlarchaeology/collections/magnani-et-al-2016. The data are divided into four ZIP files based on whether they contain core or flake models, and whether the models were created using an expedient or refined photogrammetric setup and protocol. Each of these .ZIP files contains the relevant 3D models in OBJ format. There are three files associated with each model (OBJ, MTL, and JPG texture). The files are named based on object ID, and the setup used to create them (i.e. expedient or refined). All models were processed and scaled in Agisoft PhotoScan Professional Edition. Geomagic Design X was used to center and align models around the origin.

This dataset consists of flake models representing archaeological materials from Tabun Cave, Israel. They were excavated in the late 1960's to early 1970's by a team led by Arthur J. Jelinek of the University of Arizona. This Tabun Unit I was knapped by hominins approximately 165,000 years ago. It and its related flakes are housed at the University of Arizona's School of Anthropology. These models are of the flakes that were created, or knapped off, as hominins made stone tools. They were created for the purpose of studying scar directionality in archaeological chipped stone analysis, and formed part of the experimental side of a dissertation by Matthew D. Hunstiger.
