Focus is mainly on “must have biographical properties” (Q2947); at present includes:

  • count of statements

key dates

  • year of birth (date of birth P26)
  • year of death (date of death P15)
    • a few women have more than one date recorded (separated with | to aid filtering)
    • if both are the same year it probably indicates different levels of precision

SAL/RAI/CAS

  • SAL - year of proposal (using P16)
    • again a few women have more than one but should simply mean the first proposal was unsuccessful
  • RAI - year of proposal (using P7)
  • CAS - recorded in Index of Archaeological Papers (Q419)

IDs - external ID types that are included in must have properties. If a woman has more than one of the same type recorded it’s marked with * .

  • ADS = Archaeology Data Service person ID (P34)
  • ISNI - ISNI ID (P125)
  • WD = Wikidata ID (P117)
  • VIAF - VIAF ID (P119)

Absence is indicated with - or 0 (depending on type of info) to enable filtering

Columns are sortable

birth/married names

  • count of recorded names for each name type (P140 and P141)

If something here doesn’t seem to match the wikibase, I may have messed up or the table simply needs to be updated (check the modified date at top of the page); let me know.

Wikibase queries

This combines several different queries, none of which appear in exactly the same form in the wikibase queries. However, relevant queries include:

  • Women with no dates
  • Women with more than X statements but no date of birth/death
  • Uses of <unknown value>
