Book Description
Excerpt from North American Geology and Palaeontology: For the Use of Amateurs, Students, and Scientists A general knowledge of Geology is probably of greater importance to the people of the United States than a like amount of information in any other department of natural science; but every' one will admit the state of learning in this branch is not of a very high grade. There is a common complaint among well-informed people who have given Geology no special study that the language used is technical, the names long, difficult to understand, and not unfrequently bear upon their face the evidence of affectation, as if, those coining, the words had attempted to make them as obscure as possible. It is a fact, however, that technical names are absolutely essential to a correct understanding of every branch of Natural History; and when the system of nomenclature is once learned the names are readily understood, and much more easily remembered, than the arbitrary names of individual things possibly can be. In this work an effort has been made to popularize the rules of nomenclature, and to define the technical words in the text or in the Glossary.

Graphing Culture Change in North American Archaeology
Author: R. Lee Lyman
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0192644556
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 397
Book Description
Documentation, analysis, and explanation of culture change have long been goals of archaeology. Scientific graphs facilitate the visual thinking that allow archaeologists to determine the relationship between variables, and, if well designed, comprehend the processes implied by the relationship. Different graph types suggest different ontologies and theories of change, and particular techniques of parsing temporally continuous morphological variation of artefacts into types influence graph form. North American archaeologists have grappled with finding a graph that effectively and efficiently displays culture change over time. Line graphs, bar graphs, and numerous one-off graph types were used between 1910 and 1950, after which spindle graphs displaying temporal frequency distributions of specimens within each of multiple artefact types emerged as the most readily deciphered diagram. The variety of graph types used over the twentieth century indicate archaeologists often mixed elements of both Darwinian variational evolutionary change and Midas-touch like transformational change. Today, there is minimal discussion of graph theory or graph grammar in introductory archaeology textbooks or advanced texts, and elements of the two theories of evolution are still mixed. Culture has changed, and archaeology provides unique access to the totality of humankind's cultural past. It is therefore crucial that graph theory, construction, and decipherment are revived in archaeological discussion.
