Added possible terms for archaeological site.

Description, Motivation & Context

Provide search terms for archaeological site for (non-)native readers/speakers.
Some terms may be too generic, therefore I would like input on possible alternatives, additions or removals.
Some terms may be clearly useless, may be dubious, or may be replaced by actual (relevant) nouns.

Currently, it

  • does not have any search terms
  • has been barely changed since its creation.
  • has a limited user/contributor interest group.
  • can not always be found when it is not explicitly mentioned by its name in various sources.

See also

Archaeological sites may be underground, underwater, some only visible in aerial or historical record. Some objects may occasionally represent finds, original locations of museum objects, concepts(settlement/natural), active/past visible archaeological dig/excavation sites / cuts/profiles (some in museums), etc.

Search

Yes, successfully tested search term example using preview.
Hypothetical example. Crop marks when they are visible may surround a current landuse but it is uncommon. The actual object type might be a 'cow/cattle(/animal) cemetery island/plot(/enclosure)' but simply it is scrub/wood.

Thanks for the PR! It is now merged but note that before you will see it in iD few things need to happen.

iD tagging schema needs to get release (see https://github.com/openstreetmap/id-tagging-schema/releases - latest one mentioned there is just a draft). And later needs to be pulled in by iD.

Thanks again for your contribution! If you are interested in making other one it would be really welcome!
