Query Syntax

Title	Operator	Example	Description
Phrase / Exact match	""	"Roman" "Roman Road Network"	The term or phrase must be matched exactly (case insensitive) to get a match.
Field Search	FIELD_NAME:()	name:(Roman Road Network) name:("Roman Road Network")	Field searches makes it possible to narrow the search to a specific field instead of searching all fields. The same operators as used in a normal search can be applied to field searches.
Wildcard	?, *	Roma? Ro*	Search words including or ending with and an unknown set of characters. The wildcard ? matces a single character and * matches 0-n characters.
Fuzzy	~	Roma~ Squire~	Find words which are similar (spelling wise) to the given word. Good for finding misspelled words. The examples could e.g. result in "Roma, Roman, Rome" or "Squire, Super, Squibb". Given the length of the word different rules apply : [0-2]: No fuzzyfication is applied - the word must match exactly [3-5]: One edit* is allowed [6-]: Two edits* are allowed * The default rules for edits can be overwritten by applying one of [0, 1, 2] after the "~", where the number specifies the number of edits allowed. ** An edit is an insertion, deletion or substitution of a character.
Must	+	+Roman Road +Network +name:(Roman Road) +"Roman Road" Network	Express which terms must be present to get a match: +Roman Road +Network Both "Roman" and "Network" must be present, "Road" is not required but would make a better result if present +name:(Roman Road) One of the terms must be present in the title field (If all terms must be present prefix each term with a "+") +"Roman Road" The exact phrase must be present
Must Not	-	-Roman Road -name:(Roman Road) -"Roman Road" Network	Express which terms must not be present to get a match: -Roman Road "Roman" must not present -name:(Roman Road) One of the terms must not be present in the title field (If all terms must not be present prefix each term with a "-") -"Roman Road" The exact phrase must not be present
Grouping	( )	(+Roman +Road) (+Ancient +Network)	Group expressions together to form sub-queries. The Example reads: match ("Roman" and "Road") or ("Ancient" and "Network").

These are the 39 Minoan sites and the distances between them used in a series of papers by T.S.Evans, C.Knappett and R.J.Rivers. They represent major centres in the Middle Bronze age in the Aegean centred on Crete. Information on these excel files and on some of the papers using this data is contained in a pdf file in this dataset or can be found following the links provided on the repository. There are also figures showing the location of these sites along with a QGIS project file used to create the figures.

Construction

The sites were selected based on expert opinion. The edges were found by estimating the best route by hand and estimating the time taken to travel along the best site-to-site route.

Sources

Expert domain knowledge for the sites, then distances created by the authors.
