@xrotwang, we should be able to extract all of this info from the paper we published. The case you describe for Binford is something we pitch as a "selling point"...

This is an unpublished dataset of 'additional variables' for the Binford societies, maintained by Amber Johnson. She said she is happy for them to be incorporated into D-PLACE, but I...

@xrotwang that sounds good, but in that case should it have updated when 2.1 was released? The changes to the coordinates of Koreans (Ed1) and Negri Sembilan (Ej16) were made...

A few more notes on societies included in this dataset (mainly those covered in HRAF, plus an additional set of societies based on the rules outlined on p. 178-179 of...

Hi @lmaurits - I curate the xd_id to society, and xd_id to glottocode mappings. If you find things that don’t make sense, please let me know. However, as @xrotwang says,...

@xrotwang @SimonGreenhill - I think it would be great to replace the disparate language-> xd_id mapping files with a single file, as that is indeed how I maintain this info....

> Basically the majority of the unusual situations I am noting are where the tips of language phylogenies are mapped to glottocodes which are not either languages or dialects. Has...

that first line should read *any glottocode matches

Yes, for now sources are general across the majority of the variables in EA, and all variables in SCCS. I'm hoping an RA can eventually tackle links between specific variables...
