It is calling a man Dad, Son or brother or husband by different relatives as per their relations. Though he is same man. An excavated structure is a monument due to is structure, its artifact so archaeology too has its claim over it. Then it is part of human past so history. This structure may represent a community that would be holding its possession over it for certain cultural, social, religious or economic reasons, so it is a cultural heritage too. Let people of different discipline decide for terminology. You start just to take necessary steps to see that it is preserved for centuries to come..

I have little experience in archaeology yet I spend a lot of time at ancient ruins which I have been fascinated with since early childhood. I do look specifically for mushroom icons, on asparas, davidads, frescoes, temple walls and paintings in South and Southeast Asia. I currently have a large 140 page paper on such findings with over 150 color photos and cannot find a journal to publish such a large paper. john w. allen some of my scholarly published papers may be viewed at http://www.mushroomjohn.org/articles.htm
