4. How to document objects of the same type
This is not currently part of the peer-reviewed material of the project. Do not cite as a research publication.
Objects of the same type (e.g. iron distaffs, rattles, etc.) should be documented this way:
- Create an entry under ‘Mythological Sources’ (in ‘skalds’ table) > ‘Object types’ (in ‘text’ table) > new type (in ‘verses’ table)
- Add documentation about the class of object to the ‘introduction’ field for the pseudo-‘verse’
- Add individual objects, locations, dates, etc. to the ‘mss’ table (using object type)
- Link the objects to the object type using the mss/inscriptions form for the pseudo-‘verse’
