Review and provenance

Specialist reviewer: not recorded. Review date: not recorded.

Dataset workflow: proposed. This is separate from specialist review.

Confidence describes the stated assessment; it does not certify expert approval. How review works.

Chronology

Dating intervals may describe uncertainty or phases; their width alone does not establish event duration.

Preferred assertion

1800 BCE–1500 BCE

Precision: range

moderate

Working range preserves source uncertainty and should be refined with site-level dates.

Alternative assertion

1700 BCE–1500 BCE

Precision: range

Chronology model: regional or historiographic alternative

low

A narrower conversion used in some schemes; the package retains 1800-1500 BCE as a broad working range.

Research description

The phase is defined through tell stratigraphy and material change at Namazga Depe and related piedmont sites. Namazga VI is a chronological-archaeological phase, not a named people or fixed territory, and its absolute dating remains broad.
