Research description
The label groups ceramics, architecture and other material patterns. It is not an ancient self-designation, and proposed links along the Tihama require site-level validation rather than a single distribution polygon.
Properties and assignments
A label’s definition and the evidence for assigning it here are separate.
Archaeological label, not ethnicity
Marks a modern archaeological phase or assemblage that must not be treated as an ancient people.
Why does this record have this property?
The label organizes coastal assemblages and must not be equated with ethnicity, language or a coast-wide polity.
