Contemporary language. [Database]

[Michael Erwin]

I agree. I suggest that (in addition to the household words, etc.) we  
should come up with word-lists for linguistics and archaeology. The  
former has already started with case names.

For the latter, what are suitable Gothic renderings of:

- Culture
- [A specific archaeological] culture
- [Archaeological] tradition
- [Archaeological] horizon
- Ecology
- Technology
- Landscape
- Economy
- Material culture
- Artifact
- Structure
- Site
- Settlement
- Taphonomy
- Conditions of preservation
- Pottery
- Potsherds
- Gravegoods
- Tracht
- Prestige goods
- Elite goods
- Serriation
- Stratigraphy
- Radiocarbon
- Dates Before Present (and After Present, P=1950)
- Oksywie
- Przeworsk
- Weilbark
- Chernyakhov
- Sintana de Mures

Statistical concepts are also useful
- Statistics
- Distribution
- Mean
- Median
- Mode
- Variance
- Standard Deviation
