minter (iou) and Solutrean industry (sh)


minter (iou)



minter noun.
[Old English mynetere = Old Saxon muniteri (Middle Dutch, Dutch munter), Old High German munizzari, from late Latin monetarius, from moneta: see MONEY noun, -ARY1.]
A money-changer. OE-ME.
A person who coins or stamps money. OE.

Solutrean industry (sh)




Short-lived stone-tool industry that flourished 17,000-21,000 years ago in southwestern France (e.g., at La Solutre and Laugerie-Haute) and in nearby areas.

The industry is of special interest because of its particularly fine workmanship. In addition to burins (chisel-like tools), scrapers, and borers, the Solutrean industry exhibits blades formed in the shape of laurel or willow leaves and various shouldered points. Some implements are so fine as to be useless as tools and may instead have been luxury items.
