Properties and assignments

A label’s definition and the evidence for assigning it here are separate.

Early iron evidence
What does this label mean?

Iron objects or production evidence occurs before widespread iron adoption.

Full property definition

Why does this record have this property?

The assignment does not imply widespread iron use throughout the full sequence. Isolated objects, smithing, smelting, and broad adoption remain distinct evidential stages.
