Examples | The object, or artefact could contain biological parts, for example jewellery made of amber with insects in, or cloaks made of bird feathers. It should not be used for taxonomic identifications. Examples include terms such as brick , gold , aluminium , polycarbonate , resin , amber , feather |
Notes | This definition maps roughly to the concept of E57 'material' from the CIDOC CRM: https://cidoc-crm.org/Entity/E57-Material/version-7.1.1 |
Decision made in the working group to update the definition of this so it isn't an exact copy of the CIDOC property/is more appropriate for objects incorporating biological part materials.
