Description

Molly Raymond Mignon. The terms & concepts selected for inclusion in this dictionary of archaeology are those most in need of definition & explanation for persons outside the field. This book is addressed to them, as well as to students of archaeology. In cases where the terminology has not become standardized, alternative terms have been included. The use of jargon terms has been avoided in favor of standard English words. Entries comprise 4 parts. First, brief statements give the current meaning of a concept. Next, discursive paragraphs trace a concept’s historical origins & connotative development. Then, sources mentioned in part 2 are cited, & additional notes briefly highlight other aspects of individual references. Part 4 includes sources of additional info.
