Properties and assignments
A label’s definition and the evidence for assigning it here are separate.
Cultural hybridization
The formation of new practices and identities through sustained interaction among local and incoming populations.
Why does this record have this property?
The assignment describes a regional process and should not erase site-level destruction, migration, or continuity. Those must be represented separately.
