The Dead Space Survey documented the current condition of every tomb. The definitions for Surface Finish condition are below. See also Primary Structure, Roof, and Stucco conditions.

Surface Finish Conditions

Definition: The overall physical state of the surface finish.

0 - Significant or Total Deterioration: Large-scale surface finish loss and/or failure, exposing stucco or stone beneath.

1 - Poor Condition: Significant areas of finish failure/loss. Unsightly peeling and/or flaking of finish.

2 - Moderate Condition: Stable structural condition. Significant, or terminally progressive loss of decorative finishes.

3 - Good Condition: Stable condition of finishes creating a protective coating over the stucco or stone beneath. Small cracks or worn areas may be evident, but overall protection remains.

N/A: When tomb design does not include surface finish.
