I use "Preform" often enough in English.<BR/><BR/>When you're making a bifacial stone tool, you first work the material down into a rough biface, which is called a "preform" or "blank". From here, you just have to put the finishing touches on it to make it into a proper tool, although you could also just keep knocking flakes off this as a sort of bifacial core; using the flakes as flake tools.Marshdrifterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17418969826884078761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33853649.post-22402849490372472612007-04-13T12:52:00.000-05:002007-04-13T12:52:00.000-05:00I believe the proper transliteration of "Thunder B...I believe the proper transliteration of "Thunder Bay" is サンダーベイ. Also, I <I>think</I> you would usually say サンダーベイに行ってきました, "I went to Thunder Bay (and came back)," rather than サンダーベイへ行ってきました "I went toward/in the direction of Thunder Bay (and came back)."<BR/><BR/>あわり isn't in my dictionary... of course, I don't know what "preforms" means either.<BR/><BR/>Usually "drive" is written ドライブ but that also carries the connotation of "going for a drive," i.e. driving for the pleasure of driving and/or sightseeing. In this case you could leave that off and just say ぜんぶで十八時間ぐらいかかりました.colinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14244453791724435617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33853649.post-71779239437538844202007-03-19T22:26:00.000-05:002007-03-19T22:26:00.000-05:00Canada trip:This past weekend, I went to Thunder B...Canada trip:<BR/><BR/>This past weekend, I went to Thunder Bay (and came back). There was a workshop.
