Coexistence of inhumation and cremation in later Bronze Age northeast and central-Iberian debates
Radiocarbon and contextual evidence shows that cremation and inhumation could overlap rather than replacing one another in a single synchronized horizon.
What is the evidence?
observation
Radiocarbon and contextual evidence shows that cremation and inhumation could overlap rather than replacing one another in a single synchronized horizon.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–900 BCE
Precision: range
moderatePreferred display range for this release. It preserves BCE ordering and does not suppress narrower samples, phase dates or alternatives listed separately.

Interpretation and caveats
Mortuary change should be modelled as regionally variable practice; it cannot alone diagnose migration or ethnic replacement.
