Field Name: Azimuth Orientation of Local Grid
Note: This field records the amount, measured in decimal degrees from true north, by which the y-axis, or base line of the local coordinate system in which the site was dug, deviates from true North.
Field Name: Total Area Excavated
Field Name: Total Convex Hull
The statistical definition for a convex hull is a set of points that form the smallest convex set that includes all of those points. In this case, a convex hull indicates the total area that the site based on the perimeter of the excavated units.
The convex hull of a site would look like this:

Field Name: Northing Geo Coordinate of Local Datum
Field Name: Easting Geo Coordinate of Local Datum
Field Name: Vertical Geo Coordinate of Local Datum
Note: These three fields locate the local site datum in the real-earth coordinate system specified above (e.g. SPC Virginia North). The local site datum is the point on the site that serves as the origin (x=0, y=0, z=0) of the Cartesian coordinate system in which the site was excavated. For example, if elevations for the site are given above sea level, then the value for “Vertical Coordinate of Local Datum” should be 0. If the elevations for the site are given relative to an arbitrary 0-point on the site, then “Vertical Coordinate of Local Datum” should be the (estimated) elevation above sea level of that local 0-point.
