Chronology
Dating intervals may describe uncertainty or phases; their width alone does not establish event duration.
800 BCE–600 BCE
Precision: typological transition range
Chronology model: regionally resolved positive bce
moderatePositive BCE integers are used; the larger value is earlier. The range preserves archaeological and calibration uncertainty. The transition was regionally variable and should not be treated as one year of technological or population replacement across Britain.
