Sustained metal production at Taldysai
Furnaces, slags and metal objects document repeated copper and alloy production through Petrovka and Alakul/Fedorovo phases.
What is the evidence?
observation
Furnaces, slags and metal objects document repeated copper and alloy production through Petrovka and Alakul/Fedorovo phases.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.
1900 BCE–1600 BCE
Precision: range
highAbsolute dates and phase attribution are combined.
