 "Sacred" as a prehistoric adjective... 101 messages | Select a forum: |
| Hi, Everyone, An old saw, blunt of blade and rusty with it........ Anyone else find the use of the adjective a bit woolly when describing or talking about prehistoric sites? Trying to evoke a connection with the Neolithic builders, I find myself flummoxed by the word. Perhaps it's because I like the idea of a bloody huge moated pigpen (sorry, Littlestone!), or more likely because of its quasi-religious overtones, but are we not in danger of colouring the prehistoric picture with our own pallete by using this particular word? Interested in your thoughts/alternatives, I'd be...... and not meaning to offend anyone!
