Hello,

I've started a discussion on WikiProject Geology aboutthe difference betweentufa andtuffeau.InverseHypercube(talk)06:22, 26 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I get the importance of the distinctions made in the intro, but the fact of the matter is thattufa is regularly what they call "tuff" in the sources I use on Roman architecture. By definition (since scholars use it), this is not incorrect, but a different material called by the same name. If I were to slip and use "tufa" as my RS do, and link it, a reader who clicked would find this explanation insufficiently clarifying. Therefore, I would like to state more strongly that "tuff" can also be found called "tufa." Otherwise, a reader can end up making the error the article seeks to avoid: thinking thetufa of Roman architecture is the material described in the articletufa. For instance, Lawrence Richardson,A New Topographical Dictionary of Ancient Rome (Johns Hopkins University Press, 1992), calls the building material used by the Romanstufa. Just as a sample, on a search from 1970 to the present,roman architecture tufa (note that there'seven a period of architecture in Pompeii known as the 'tufa period': "This brilliant period of Pompeiian architecture…is known as the tufa period from the fine-grained, easily worked gray tufa, a volcanic dust hardened by water into rock, quarried in the vicinity of Nuceria");roman engineering tufa;roman building tufa.Cynwolfe (talk)23:03, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
