Terminology-in-progress: The search for a neologism able to express the aspect of my artistic research related to lithic categories in the fields of paleontology, anthropology, paleoanthropology, archaeology, and geology.
Some other experiments include: anthropolithic -ology; lithic-anthropomorphism;
geo-anthropomorphism; lithic / geo-archaeology / anthropology; archaeolithic -ology
