The article describes the features of word formation which are most typical for archaeology sublanguage / substantival composites and compound adjectives. Archaeological terminology is of some interest from a linguistic point of view, as it has numerous objects of study and is marked by its distinctive terminology. The description of the discovered archaeological material comes from the perspective of an integrative approach which allows to collate the results of research in many areas of both humanitarian and natural-scientific plan. The most productive way of designating and describing discovered archaeological sites is the morphological and syntactic method of term-formation. Stem-composition is the dominant way of word formation in the sublanguage of archaeology. Since the description of features and properties, the image of discovered objects occupies quite a large place in archaeological texts, the stem-composition proves to be productive for adjectives. Compound words serve as a mean of language economy and express significant information in compact forms and are a source of archaeological vocabulary extension.
