Improved Version (2.0) of ASCHER-ASCHER DATABASE XLS MASTERBOOK now Online
Hi Folks,
Just to announce, I put an improved version (2.0) of the XLS MASTERBOOK of the ASCHER-ASCHER online tonight.
This improved version can be accessed at:
http://us.share.geocities.com/denniskriz/khipu/data/MAAD2.xls
The improvements are to the Pendant Info Table in the Masterbook, which catalogs the properties of all the Pendant and Subsidiary cords of every khipu listed in the database.
(1) Since the pendant cords on a khipu are usually organized in groups on the khipu, the pendant group number as well as the position within each pendant group of each pendant and subsidiary cord are now listed in newly added columns to the Pendant Info Table. This will allow one to rapidly compare the color and knot values of the pendant cords catalogued in the database in relation to their position _within_ individual pendant groups across the entire database.
(2) Information given in the ASCHER-ASCHER DATATABLES regarding both the number of subsidiary (and subsubsidiary cords) attached to pendant cords, as well as their attachment position on the pendant cords is now presented by means to two new columns added at the end of the Pendant Info Table. This should allow rapid comparison across the entire Ascher-Ascher database of both the number of subsidiaries attached to pendant cords across the entire database as well as the subsidiary cords' attachment positions to their parent (pendant) cords.
All this should greatly aid in helping discern the "grammar" of khipu construction, perhaps, even leading someday to the discernment of "words" as well.
Happy code-breaking to all!
