Object File card collects a summary of description data with the synthesis of the properties of the selected object. Matter is the solid substance from which the object was made (creta, aes, speculum, lignum, etc.). Product means the nature of the content (oleum, vinum, garum, etc.). Artifact is accompanied by the name of typology. Findspot is the place of discovery with its archaeological content. Dating can be obtained by different criteria (associated epigraphy, archaeological context, artifact typology). Dating can be absolute: annus = a. 145 p. Chr, anni = an. 149-161 p. Chr; or relative: circa = ca. 145-149 p. Chr, saecula = ss. II-III p. Chr, terminus a quo (post quem) = p.q. 41/42 p. Chr, terminus a quem (ante quem) = a.q. 10 p. Chr. Comments collects any relevant information about the object. Sources list the bibliography who have published the object or that refer to it with some relevant information.

Epigraphy File card shows the different classes of inscriptions associated to the object. Classes are grouped in the following order: tituli ante cocturam (graffiti before firing), sigilla (stamps), tituli picti (painted inscriptions), tituli post cocturam (graffiti after firing). Each inscription class has its own comments with relevant information obtained from the referenced publication, or even with annotations from the editors of the PIRIDI project.
