English term or phrase: Primary Feature (for Sites
Hello I am hoping you can help me, this is a user guide for a website used in Archaeology. It is describing how you can search or how to submit a query. It begins by using the phrase in question in the subtitle, read below.

"Searching by Object Definition (for Objects), Primary Feature (for Sites) or Site Use (for Sites)
If you do not have the ID for a specific record you can search by object definition, primary feature or site use or any combination of the above. Clicking on the text for object definition, primary feature or site use will expand the menu to display a list with check boxed next to each option."

It has to do with statues. In the website they show you not only the statues, but also the location (region) or site and whatever they mean by "primary feature" I do not have access to the website, so I cannot see it.
Thanks for your help

The target audience are the scientist/archeologists who will use this website. The Archaeological Site and the audience is in Chile.
Mil gracias de nuevo.

Spanish translation:Característica principal
Explanation:
It must refer to the primary feature of each statue. For example, if you search for a statue with a woman with an arch as primary feature, or man on a horse, lion and eagle, etc. I think it refers to that. In this sense it is "característica principal" .

Hope I helped you!

Explanation:
Esto está complicado.
Si va referido a "sites" me inclino a que se refiera a "location" y te propongo esas dos.
Si se refiere a la fecha de la estatua, sería "época".
Quizá por los deplegables que abre, puedas descartar lo que no es.
En las webs de abajo hay un registro de bienes. Se abre un pdf comprimido en winrar con un formulario para registrar los objetos con palabras que te pueden servir.
