Здравсвуйте!
Помогите перевести это слово. я понятия не имею, что это может означать в горной терминологии. В словаре по горному делу написано, что это Костыль.
Вот контекст:
Manual excavation: an excavation using spades and other hand tools, but does not include use of spikes, pickaxes and the like.

И еще: spades - это можно перевести просто "лопата"? Или есть какой-то специфический термин?

Заранее спасибо.

[алешаBG]

spade - копальная/штыковая лопата

алешаBG, спасибо! Тогда допишу, что штыковая. А Spikes что такое?

pickaxe = кирка-мотыга
... подозреваю, что spike - это просто кирка или даже лом...

The blade of the pickaxe is composed of some type of metal, often steel or some other hard metal. The most common design includes a two pronged body to the blade, with one of the prongs or spikes coming to a sharp point. The spike is usually constructed with a slight curve. The opposite prong may be a duplicate of the other, or may be configured with an end that is flat. In other designs, one of the prongs may resemble a common chisel.
A common pickaxe can be used for a number of common tasks. The spiked end is ideal for breaking up surfaces, such as concrete or hard ground. When equipped with a flat end on the blade, the pickaxe can also be used to slide under an object and pry it away from the surrounding area. When the chiseled prong is included in the design of the hand tool, the pickaxe becomes an ideal choice for cutting through roots as part of the removal of a tree stump.
