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

1490 BCE–1260 BCE

Precision: range

high

Working range preserves source uncertainty and should be refined with site-level dates.

Interpretation and caveats

The assemblage supports local farming within a mixed highland economy rather than food arriving only through exchange.

Event context

Classification
