1 man has it in a nutshell... however I had the same problem with a database I created that would only allow 'approved' terms
Thats a big posthole... no its not, its a small pit... lets call it a post pit, no I prefer Pitt hole.... Stop please....
Terminology.... don't you just love it!
I prefer SF (small find) but my definition is if it is not shoveled up in buckets, it becomes an SF... so that would mean if ceramics are rare on a site... and I find it... then SF number is given... or if I find a ceramic base with name stamp... SF.... (that would be because in the mass of ceramic assemblage... it was a rare or unusual piece)
It is all up to the individual site though
Another day another WSI?
