Analogy - answer✔✔Noting similarities between two entities and inferring from
that similarity that an additional attribute of one (the ethnographic case) is also true
for the other (the archaeological case). Principal of Uniformitarianism -
answer✔✔The principle asserting that the processes now operating to modify the
earth's surface are the same processes that operated long ago in the geological past.

form. Bonebed - answer✔✔Archaeological and paleontological sites consisting of
the remains of a large number of animals, often of the same species, and often
representing a single moment in time—a mass kill or mass death. Experimental
Archaeology - answer✔✔Experiments designed to determine the archaeological
correlates of ancient behavior; may overlap with both ethnoarchaeology and
taphonomy. heat treatment - answer✔✔A process whereby the flintknapping
properties of stone tool raw material are improved by subjecting the material to
heat. flake - answer✔✔A thin, sharp sliver of stone removed from a core during
the knapping process. core - answer✔✔A piece of stone that is worked
("knapped"). Sometimes serve merely as sources for raw materials; they also can
serve as functional tools. flute - answer✔✔Distinctive channel on the faces of
