Anthropology

Question

I am going to England over the summer to work at a dig, and I will be using a theodolite. However, I don't know how to use one. Can you tell me how?

Answer

I used Google and found the following: theodolite is: a transit with accurate optical readout of vertical and horizontal angles. http://www.webref.org/anthropology/t/theodolite.htm an alternative term is optical transit.
