stray finds Explanation: Besides the same linguistic background Lesefunde have not much to do with "lesen = reading" but they denote just stray finds of pottery or other small items (see link). I'll keep looking if I find anything else. Cheers Claudia -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-12-29 17:19:30 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Here are 3 other links about \"Lesefunde\": http://www.netzspecht.de/Hilpoltstein.html http://www.pauliny-toth.com/adv/Home/Archaeologie/Grabungste... http://www.uni-tuebingen.de/CASTELLINA/glossar.htm And finally an English link with \"stray finds\" in the given context: http://www.lls.se/~fischer/bronze.htm -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-12-29 17:49:11 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Just a few words to the linguistic context. Both Lesestein and Lesefund have the origin \"auflesen\", which means roughly \"to pick up\", however in the case of \"Lesesteine\" they are just stones that have been picked up (and maybe piled). (see link: http://www.envf.port.ac.uk/geo/research/carningli/archaeolog... I\'m not even sure that there is a distinctive word for \"Lesestein\", as all the references I found only used \"stones\". Lesefund however is an archological find that has been found on a field but without a reliable origin, e.g. if it was found on the site of a prehistoric dump. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-12-29 17:53:34 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- \"Stray finds\" is the correct term. Just search goolge for \"Stray finds\" and prehistoric or archaeology. http://www.google.de/search?hl=de&ie=ISO-8859-1&q="Stray fin... http://www.google.de/search?q="Stray finds" archaeology&hl=d...
