LEMMA	TRANSLATION	MEANING
Menhir	Pietra lunga	A term derived from the two Breton words meaning ‘long stone’ and colloquially used in northern France and the southwest of Britain for large freestanding slabs or blocks of stone. Some menhirs carry rock art, and in Brittany some were broken up and re-used as the orthostats or roof-slabs of passage graves.
Dolmen	Dolmen	A traditional French term for any kind of megalithic chambered tomb. Formerly used occasionally in England
Cromlech	Cromlech	An obsolete term formerly used to describe MEGALITHIC TOMBS. It is derived from the Welsh crom meaning ‘bent’ and llech meaning ‘flagstone’.
Capstone	---	A more or less horizontal slab or block of stone forming the top of a burial CIST or the roof of a chambered tomb.
Monolith	Monolito	A single, large, isolated stone, often shaped and usually standing upright. Synonymous with Menhir in the Neolithic of northwest Europe.
Flagstone	Pietra da lastrico	A single, large, isolated stone, often shaped and usually standing upright. Synonymous withMENHIR in the Neolithic of northwest Europe.
Thrilithon-thrilith	Trilite	An arrangement of large stones comprising two uprights with a lintel across the top. The best-known examples are at STONEHENGE, England.
Lintel-header	Architrave	Wooden beam or stone slab lying horizontally above a doorway or window opening in order to discharge the weight of the structure above.
Figuerine	Statuetta	Small stylized female statuettes sculptured in the round, of Upper Palaeolithic date, representing women with, in many cases, exaggerated sexual characteristics such as breasts, hips, and stomach. The faces are generally featureless and the arms and legs little emphasized. Found from southern France through to Siberia and made in stone, bone, ivory, steatite, and clay in GRAVETTIAN and related cultures.
Artefacts	Artefatto	Any object which has been modified, fashioned, or manufactured according to a set of humanly imposed attributes, including tools, weapons, ornaments, utensils, houses, buildings, etc. Artefacts are the basic components of MATERIAL CULTURE.
