   As a result, we used several semantic concepts that define the
minimum informative data present in vestiges regardless of their
origin, purpose, nature, and support. These are Unit of Topography
(UT) and Actor (Ac). Both are ontological concepts to identify
historical facts: entities existing and changing all the time, and
events as an expression of what alters permanence. Even though
the concept of UT owes so much to Harris’ Unit of Stratigraphy
(US) [15] (p. 42), researchers from all kinds of Social and Human
Sciences could identify and label these in any source of
information whether textual, material or audiovisual. That would
