Abstract | ||
Researchers and specialists use many terms in Arabic to describe some places, time, periods, peoples, systems, interactions and ancient human actions. As well as terms that denote applied field archaeological work in the archaeological field or site; To indicate any activity, study, or subject within the academic studies of the disciplines of archeology, history and civilization. This idiomatic use may sometimes fail in the accuracy of its connotations within the specialized cognitive context; many cases have been diagnosed, in many specialized studies and research, in terms of the incorrect use of some archaeological terms in the Arabic language and their use in other than its scientific, archaeological and even logical connotations within the conceptual system of sectoral knowledge of archaeology, history and civilization. The study aims at the correct use of archaeological terms, in archaeological, historical and civilizational studies and research, specifically in the Arabic language, and setting something similar to the concept of guide in how to use them to serve their correct connotations known within the fields of these disciplines. | ||
