Research description
The label is retained as a historiographic and typological tool. It does not establish a bounded ethnic community, language group, political territory or single migratory population.
Properties and assignments
A label’s definition and the evidence for assigning it here are separate.
Analytical label, not an ethnicity
A modern archaeological grouping that must not be equated with a named people.
Why does this record have this property?
It cannot be mapped as a single ethnic territory.
