What is the evidence?

observation

Frattesina expanded during and after Terramare contraction, with specialized craft production and long-distance materials.

observed evidence

Frattesina expanded during and after Terramare contraction, with specialized craft production and long-distance materials.

The event shows continental continuity, relocation and network reorganization after regional contraction. It is not evidence that the same institutions or causes operated in Britain or Ireland.

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

1150 BCE–950 BCE

Precision: archaeological phase range

Chronology model: regionally resolved positive bce

high

Positive BCE integers are used; the larger value is earlier. The range preserves archaeological and calibration uncertainty. The event shows continental continuity, relocation and network reorganization after regional contraction. It is not evidence that the same institutions or causes operated in Britain or Ireland.

Interpretation and caveats

The event shows continental continuity, relocation and network reorganization after regional contraction. It is not evidence that the same institutions or causes operated in Britain or Ireland.

Event context

Classification

Event type: exchange system reorganization and settlement growth

Evidence layer: archaeological

Timeline role: general world context

Why it matters to the timeline

Included as a major European exchange-system reorganization and growth event for world orientation, without asserting a direct British causal link.

Research notes

  • Examines Terramare contraction and Frattesina's growth as a later exchange and production hub using archaeology and isotope data. Role: provides evidence and date. Locator: Abstract; Terramare collapse; Frattesina; isotope results; discussion.
