Forum on Controlled Vocabularies in Archaeology

Abstract

This forum will discuss whether archaeology needs a controlled vocabulary. Controlled vocabularies are agreed, dynamic sets of single- or multiple-word phrases used as key research terms. These exist for other disciplines, including psychology, chemistry and astronomy, with agreed sets of standardized keywords for journal articles.
