Research description
Sinda’s sequence contains at least two destructive episodes and subsequent rebuilding, making it a key case against a single island-wide destruction horizon. Earlier ethnic attribution of phases requires source-critical reassessment.
Properties and assignments
A label’s definition and the evidence for assigning it here are separate.
Site-specific destruction sequence
One or more destruction horizons documented at a particular site.
Why does this record have this property?
Sinda I and II contain separate destructive episodes followed by rebuilding or reduced occupation.
