Repeated metal deposition in wet contexts of the Garonne basin
Bronze objects from rivers and other wet contexts recur in the Midi-Pyrénées and Garonne evidence base.
What is the evidence?
observation
Bronze objects from rivers and other wet contexts recur in the Midi-Pyrénées and Garonne evidence base.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.
1300 BCE–800 BCE
Precision: long duration
