Research assessment
statement
Improved absolute chronology will eliminate some culture-historical migration chains built from typological succession.mechanisms
- When supposed source and destination assemblages do not occur in the required order, resemblance must be explained by another process or the sequence must be abandoned.
chronology test
Directly dated source contexts must precede destination contexts for a directional migration claim.geography test
Independent sites should reproduce the sequence rather than rely on one cross-dating chain.supporting evidence
- Early Tulkhar dates predate the proposed Fedorovo source
- Lisakovsk demonstrates local overlap rather than simple phase succession
important caveat
Chronological and geographic overlap are necessary but not sufficient for causation.Research description
Chronological and geographic overlap are necessary but not sufficient for causation.
