Query Syntax

TitleOperatorExampleDescription
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").

"Reconstructing ties between archaeological contexts may contribute to explain and describe a variety of past social phenomena. Several models have been formulated to infer the structure of such archaeological networks. The applicability of these models in diverse archaeological contexts is limited by the restricted set of assumptions that fully determine the mathematical formulation of the models and are often articulated on a dyadic basis. Here, we present a general framework in which we combine exponential random graph models with archaeological substantiations of mechanisms that may be responsible for network formation. This framework may be applied to infer the structure of ancient networks in a large variety of archaeological settings. We use data collected over a set of sites in the Caribbean during the period AD 100–400 to illustrate the steps to obtain a network reconstruction."

"Data set used for the illustrative case study. The data set contains information on 15 sites located between Puerto Rico in the northwestern Greater Antilles and Grenada in the southern Lesser Antilles. The first two columns report information on the geographical area of the sites: the Antilles sub-regions (Subregion) and the islands (Island) on which the sits are located. The next two columns provide the exact location of the sites in terms of latitude (Latitude) and longitude (Longitude). The next five columns contain information on the role played by the sites in the distribution of five lithic materials: Long Island flint (Long Island), serpentinite (Serpentinite), Saint Martin greenstone (St. Martine Greenstone), carnelian (Carnelian), and amethyst (Amethyst). The classification of the sites into supplier (site with lithic workshops), supplier/intermediate, consumer/intermediate, and consumer (site without evidence of stone working) is based on studies of the lithic assemblages of the sites (Knippenberg 2007; Rodríguez Ramos 2007). The last two columns of the data set report information on the quantity of finds (Quantity) and the composition of the ceramic assemblages (Cultural affiliation). Those information comes from excavation (see Hofman et al. (2014) and Hofman et al. (2019)). The data set was created by Corinne Hofman and Angus Mol."
