Heitage Receptor - Tool - 30th May 2014
It's terrible when words or phrases are reinterpreted or introduced to our lexicon, isn't it? You would never have found Shakespeare committing such a sin!
Heitage Receptor - Marc Berger - 30th May 2014
Came across this http://www.nature.com/nm/journal/v5/n3/full/nm0399_270.html and there are a few eias written for Stratford which dice with heritage receptors and sheackspear.
yes unhaired sheakspere had a weird wayward way to spell and just make up words. Luckily we have some of his plays as examples of what they were up to circa Jacobean . Although I would be amongst the first pedants to applaud the puking of a new lexicon I have a some discontent about the madcap ability of anybody to contain archaeology (woe not a shaky word) within a receptor. This is a gross falsehood, its flawed academe. The question before us is how can you contain archaeology within a receptor. Take the example of a scheduled monumental moated site. Take it to the politicians because that is all that circumstantial blanket belongs to. Where you put the evaluation trench is across that fools boundary, and even thrice more distant beware that what you touch does not turn back to face that which is undressed, its laughable.

You're just mixing things up now.....

It has now become a challenge to see if I can squeeze the phrase 'bioturbation receptor' onto a context sheet. There has to be something out there that would fit the bill... :face-thinks: }

like it Tool and Wax, how about all pits: "large oval bioturbation heritage receptor"
It incorporates the taphamonic and is not as subjective as "pit" which is obviously a term still stuck in Sanskrit and which we cant be pronouncing properly. As Tool has done I would probably drop the heritage bit because everything an archaeologist touches is heritage. "Today I bagged the contexts from three bioturbation receptors". I have to admit it just rolls off the tongue like honey. In fact it doesn't even have to be a pit could be a ditch or a post hole, topsoil, how objective is that. " After removing the main overlaying bioturbation receptor, several small bioturbations receptors were aligned in a row and cut by a long linear bioturbation receptor." It just calls out for a description of the bioturbations and has all that "are you confusing a receptor with a receptacle"; all in anticipation of that final closure interpretation. Its the beast.
I think this needs a date on it 03/06/2014 . :face-smart: Bioturbation Receptor :face-smart:
