Abstract
Archaeological research commonly focuses on various temporal aspects of archaeological deposits, such as their age and the sequencing or the relative temporal order of one deposit to another. Another aspect is the concern for temporal scale and resolution, or the degree of contemporaneity shared by deposits, treated elsewhere in this volume by Jones and Beck and also by Zvelebil and colleagues.
[T]he [jacal habitation] framework is fairly permanent, usually surviving a number of occupancies extending over months or years, and outlasting an equal number of outer coveries; so that all habitable Seriland is dotted sparsely with jacal skeletons, sometimes retaining fragments of walls or roof, but oftener entirely denuded. (McGee 1898:222)
