Hi all, with apologies for cross-posting We are trying to find some standardised terminology for recording the topographic and geomorphological context of archaelogical monuments. We have a standard list for the immediate topography (e.g. river edge, base of slope, etc.), but we are having trouble finding terminology for the wider geomorphology. In terms of scale, I suppose we are looking for terms that could describe areas of at least a few hundred metres square - perhaps it would include terms like "alluvial terrace", "plateau moorland", "glacial valley" etc but I'm clutching at straws. Can you help? Does anyone have a list that they find useful from an archaeological point of view, or know any friendly geographers/geomorphologists who might? Or know of any lists that have been used in landscape characterisation projects? We don't need a published standard, just a working list at this stage. thanks very much for any replies on or off list. Crispin ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Crispin Flower exeGesIS SDM Ltd.
