title: East Asian Prehistoric Anthropomorphic Jade Object, Specimen 06 (EANJ_FIGURE_06):
High-Resolution Digital Documentation of Morphology, Perforation Structures, Surface Condition, and Observable Modification Traces

description: 1. Core Statement

1.1 This record contains high-resolution original visual data of a jade anthropomorphic object (Object ID: EANJ_FIGURE_06).

1.2 This dataset constitutes a component of an ongoing systematic digital archiving initiative. It is released as foundational research data, intended to provide high-fidelity visual evidence to support non-interpretive morphological observation, traceological studies, and material-related analytical work.

 

2. Access and Use Conditions

2.1 Access Restrictions

For reasons of data security, academic standards, and controlled use boundaries, the full-resolution original image files included in this dataset are subject to restricted access.

2.2 Application Requirements

Access requests must be submitted via the Zenodo platform and must include a brief description of the research purpose and institutional affiliation.

2.3 Use Boundaries

This dataset is limited to academic research, teaching reference, visual documentation, and non-interpretive comparative analysis.Without explicit authorization from the dataset publisher, any form of commercial use, non-academic dissemination, redistribution, or reproduction beyond the scope of academic comparison is strictly prohibited.

 

3. Dataset Composition

3.1 Comprehensive Visual Documentation

The dataset includes high-resolution images of the object from frontal, rear, lateral orientations, as well as macro-level documentation of localized features (e.g., perforation channels, surface erosion states, and observable traces related to manufacture or modification), recording the object’s overall proportions and geometric morphology in full resolution.

3.2 Metric Reference Images

Images incorporating a metric scale are provided for basic dimensional and proportional reference:



Length: 5.5 cm

Width: 2.6 cm

Thickness: 3.7 cm

Weight: 106 g


Note: Due to the complexity of the object’s contours and volumetric structure, the listed measurements are approximate and should not be regarded as precise.

3.3 Macro Imaging Records

Multi-angle high-magnification macro images document the following directly observable visual features:



Perforation channels and perforation structures

Surface erosion and depositional conditions

Identifiable traces of manufacture or finishing

5. Imaging Methodology and Processing

5.1 All images were captured using a full-frame camera paired with a 90 mm macro lens. Original data were recorded in RAW format and converted to JPEG files for dataset release and presentation. Each image has a resolution of approximately 42 megapixels.

5.2 Photography was conducted under controlled lighting conditions with a neutral background to minimize environmental interference with the visual representation of the material.

5.3 No physical treatment, cleaning, or surface intervention was applied to the object during imaging.

5.4 Any post-processing was limited strictly to global exposure and white balance adjustments, with the sole aim of accurately reflecting the visual condition of the material.

 

6. Compliance and Due Diligence

6.1 The organization, digitization, and publication of this dataset adhere to fundamental principles of academic data management and research ethics.

6.2 Prior to release, the dataset underwent internal compliance and risk assessment, including evaluation of usage boundaries, potential misinterpretation risks, and consistency with academic standards.

6.3 This dataset is released solely as non-interpretive original visual documentation. It does not constitute any academic conclusions regarding function, cultural attribution, chronological assessment, or typological classification, nor does it represent the position of any institution or individual.
