Dear All,
after discussion with Paola Ronzino, Achille Felicetti, George Bruseker, Chrysoula Bekiari , Eleni Christaki

We propose:
A6 Group Declaration Event:

This class comprises interpretive activities that lead to identify two or more instances of Stratigraphic Units (A8) and / or Physical Thing (E18) that simultaneously exist at the time of this activity or at the time of archaeological observations this activity refers to as source and that are attributed to be the remains of one complete instance of Physical Thing (E18) that had existed at a time of reference in the past, such as two stratigraphic units (with no evident contact) cut through by a ditch having been segments of the same original stratigraphic unit, two or more surviving parts of a structure having been segments of the same wall (B5), a number of postholes being the indication of a past wooden house or a number of potsherds being segments of the same original artefact.

Comments:

I suggest not to speak of "parts" in case of remains of pieces of coherent matter as a result of destructive process. At the time we are interested in, the object had no parts. It was one. However, the structure at our hands formed a segment in the sense of Gerstl & Pribenow (i.e., a constellation of matter with no natural boundaries at the time the thing existed as a whole or at all, and no knowledge of such boundaries prior to the destruction).

In first order logic, I'd put in a constraint that the STV of the target thing has to be "before" the activity.



Best,

Martin
