OLDER PROPYLON ARCHIVAL DOCUMENTATION

SCANNED DOCUMENTS

All images were scanned with PhotoShop 5.0 and an HP OfficeJet R80, set to gray-scale at 300 dpi, except where noted. The resulting scans were cropped and saved as uncompressed TIFF-formatted files (in PC order, a PhotoShop option). This work was done in the fall of 2003. These TIFF format files have been converted to PDFs for downloading purposes. Should you wish to access the much larger TIFF files, please contact us below.

All file names are in the format op99xx.pdf, where "op" is older propylon, "99" is a rough chronological sequence of 01 to 99, and "xx" is the type of document (co= correspondence; fn= notes, both taken in the field and appended during the modeling process; fd=field drawings; rd=redrawings; and pe=post-excavation material). There are a few files with an "a" as the 7th character in their name; these images are made from xerox copies of the op99xx.pdf images that have additional notations or measurements on the copy.

Most files are from 1975; files from later occasions include the year in their name after the document type -- op99xxYY.pdf, where YY is year (1987 or 1990).

Notes:

1. None of the drawings is to scale.

2. Some scans were originally misclassified as redrawings when they actually contained modeling notes. Those files were renamed and reclassifed with a file name of op1##fn.tif; their original name would have been op##rd.pdf.

Documentation was carried out by Susan C. Jones, beginning July 1, 2003, and augmented by Eiteljorg in December of 2003. There is no data table for these scans; the following list serves as the index.
