The first spreadsheet (Sheet 1) covers the type of archaeological features registered during the archaeological fieldwork campaign of site 10-B2 near Izvor in 2021. The described features include pottery (ceramic) accumulations, pit structures, buildings, pottery vessels and features categorised as others (types different than those mentioned above). The second spreadsheet (Sheet 2) is dedicated to the recovered carpological remains during the archaeobotanical analysis of plant macro-remains. It includes two major groups of cereals and legumes and a third one – wild plants. The third spreadsheet describes the faunal remains discovered at Izvor and splits them into percentage categories according to the number of identified specimens (NISP). The fourth spreadsheet (Sheet 4) summarises the values of the elemental analysis conducted with spherical specimens (hammerscales) of five samples from Izvor. The analysis was performed along a Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) imaging by Electron Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDX). The elemental analysis features values for oxygen (O), Silica (Si), Aluminum (Al), Iron (Fe), Sodium (Na), Magnesium (Mg), Calcium (Ca), Potassium (K), Titanium (Ti) and Manganese (Mn).
