I recently got a private message asking why don't we put together a glossary of terms such as "Basil Grinding" , I immediately went to our "Information Section" found a section on general archaeological terms:
also this thread on lithic terminology, but which has not yet been populated, and looks like it could use our members help:
We as seasoned hunters use terms that we understand, but are not common to a new person wanting to learn, such as side notch, corner notch, basil thinning, fluting flakes, cores, lithic's, transverse flaking,......... well you get the Idea.
I am asking for members to help with these terms. If you can contribute a few terms and the meanings to this thread, we can then build a glossary of terms from A to Z to add a complete glossary to the Information Center. Right now just the terms and there meanings would be great, we can organize it after we get a basic start.
If there is a term you do not understand please add it for other members to give the meaning. we can do this with the quote function.
I want to thank the members in advance for their contributions!
