The physical archaeological carrier on which an attested form was observed — a tablet, ostracon, seal, coin, manuscript, or wall. NON-FUNCTIONAL: an attestation may reference multiple carriers (e.g. duplicate impressions), and competing carrier attributions coexist (Principle 9). This is the language-facing hook from UsageAttestation to archaeological evidence.

Usage Advice

Use when

• Use on a UsageAttestation to name the physical carrier — tablet, ostracon, seal, coin, manuscript, wall — on which the form was observed, the hook to archaeological evidence.

Avoid when

• Avoid using it for the bibliographic source (gmeow:attestedInSource) or the abstract context (gmeow:attestedInContext), and avoid forcing one carrier — duplicate impressions coexist, so keep it non-functional.

How to use

• Point gmeow:attestedOnCarrier at one or more gmeow:PhysicalObject carriers; multiple carriers for one attestation are expected for duplicate or recut inscriptions.

Examples

• ex:att1 gmeow:attestedOnCarrier ex:tabletK1234.
