Just to pipe in, I think that you may have been a victim of the Archon data model. Level and container were modeled as being interchangeable; they are not. An aggregation of description always has a level [ISAD(G) 3.1.4; EAD @level] — it may sometimes also
have an associated container [ISAD(G) medium; EAD <container>]. I’m not sure what the migrator had to do to disentangle these two concepts for ArchivesSpace, but that may help address your concerns.
