Template:Infobox Archaeological site/doc

An infobox for an archaeological site where cannabis has been found: a cemetery, burial mound, settlement, cave or shrine where cannabis remains, residue, fibre or impressions are identified in a published paper. It is used on the article about the site itself. Every page that carries it is placed in Category:Archaeological sites and listed among the places of the wiki, with the place type Archaeological site.

One page describes one site, not one excavation season or one grave: a grave with cannabis in it is a section of the site's article. Lake and bog cores with cannabis pollen are not sites and do not carry this infobox.

On the page, the infobox comes first and {{History series}} after it. The site's image goes in the infobox, not in the series box.

Leave a field empty rather than guess it. Every value must come from a source the article cites, and where a value is an interpretation (an assigned culture, a contested date) the article says whose it is.

Parameters

Parameter	Description
name	The site's name. Defaults to the page title
local_name	The name in the local language and script. Shown under the title
other_names	Other names the site is known by. Shown under the title
image	Filename of an image of the site or its finds, without `File:`
image_alt	Alternative text for the image. Defaults to the caption, then to the name
image_caption	Caption for the image
show_map	`yes` shows a small terrain map centred on `coordinates`
coordinates	Latitude and longitude in decimal degrees, separated by a comma, as the excavation or dating paper publishes them. Only where a paper publishes them; leave empty otherwise. The template rounds them to two decimal places (about 1 km) for display, the map and the stored value. Any other form (degrees and minutes, N/E letters) shows an error in the box and is not stored
country	Bare title of the country page, with no link markup: the template makes the link
provinces	Bare titles of the province or state pages, separated by commas. Each is linked
admin_2	The district, county or prefecture. Shown as written, so a link may be added by hand (to an article, or to Wikipedia where the wiki has no page); stored as plain text
admin_2_label	The label for `admin_2`. Defaults to District
minimum_elevation, maximum_elevation	Elevation in metres, as plain numbers with no unit or comma. Give both for a site that spans a height range, or only `maximum_elevation` for one height
growing_region	Bare title of the growing region page where the site lies within one. Linked
site_type	One of: Cemetery, Burial mound, Settlement, Cave or rock shelter, Shrine or temple, Shell midden. Any other value raises a warning on the page and is not stored; see Property:Has site type
culture	The archaeological culture the site is assigned to, as the sources name it. Several are separated by semicolons. A link may be added by hand; the value is stored without it
period	The period as the sources name it (Early Iron Age). Stored as plain text
in_use	The span of use of the whole site, in words (c. 1260–48 BCE). Display only
excavated	The years of excavation, in words. Display only
excavators	Who excavated the site: people or institutions, linked by hand where the wiki has a page. Display only
cannabis_finds	What kind of cannabis material was found, separated by semicolons: Seeds, Plant remains, Residue, Fibre or textile, Pollen, Impressions. See Property:Has cannabis find
finds_note	One short line on the finds, as the article states them. Display only
finds_from, finds_to	The date range of the cannabis finds (not of the whole site), as whole years. Years BCE are negative: `-700` is 700 BCE. A date in years before present is converted first: BP counts back from 1950, so 2700 BP is `-750`. Give one of the two for a single date. Shown as c. 700–500 BCE and stored as numbers, so sites sort by date. Words, ranges or c. in these fields raise a warning and are not stored
dating_method	How the finds were dated, separated by semicolons: Radiocarbon, Dendrochronology, Luminescence, Typology, Stratigraphy, Inscriptions. See Property:Has dating method
analyses	How the cannabis was identified, separated by semicolons: Morphology, Microscopy, Ancient DNA, Chemical analysis, Pollen analysis. See Property:Has analysis method
disputed	`yes` where a published paper rejects or questions the identification as cannabis. The box then says so, and the article must say who disputes it and why
finds_held	The museum or institution that holds the finds. Several are separated by semicolons. A link may be added by hand; the value is stored without it
timeline_label	The caption for the page's point on the History map's timeline: what was found, in plain text with no links and at most 60 characters (Burnt cannabis in wooden braziers). It says "earliest" or "first" only where the article says so with a citation, and then as "earliest reported". Defaults to the page title. Not shown in the box. See Property:Has timeline label

Footnotes (<ref>) may be added only to the display-only fields. A footnote in a stored field would be stored with the value.

Semantic properties

The template stores the following properties with #set. The other parameters are display only.

Parameter	Property	Type
(always)	Has place type = Archaeological site	Text, fixed values
local_name	Has local name	Text
image	Has image	Text
country	Has country	Page
provinces	Has province	Page, several values
admin_2	Has admin 2	Page
coordinates (rounded)	Has coordinates	Geographic coordinates
minimum_elevation, maximum_elevation	Has minimum elevation, Has maximum elevation	Quantity (m)
growing_region	Has growing region	Page
site_type	Has site type	Text, fixed values
culture	Has archaeological culture	Text, several values
period	Has archaeological period	Text
finds_from	Has find year from	Number
finds_to	Has find year to	Number
dating_method	Has dating method	Text, fixed values, several
cannabis_finds	Has cannabis find	Text, fixed values, several
analyses	Has analysis method	Text, fixed values, several
disputed	Has disputed identification	Boolean (false when empty)
finds_held	Has finds holder	Text, several values

The template also copies Has continent and Has subregion from the page named in country, reading that country page's stored values with #show. Nothing needs to be entered for them.

Timeline

The template adds one timeline record to the page: a subobject named timeline, which the History map and timeline read. It is added only when the page has a year to place it at.

Property	Value
Has timeline year from, Has timeline year to	`finds_from` and `finds_to`. Where only one is given, it is both
Has timeline label	`timeline_label`, else the page title
Has timeline kind	Archaeological find
Has coordinates	`coordinates`, rounded as above
Has timeline page	The page itself

The point is the site's own, so a site without published coordinates is on the timeline without a point.
