Research description
A reconstructed wetland and settlement-system zone based on excavation and palaeoenvironmental synthesis. Its polygon is generalized and is not a political boundary or a claim that all enclosed space was used simultaneously.
Properties and assignments
A label’s definition and the evidence for assigning it here are separate.
Research reconstruction, not a border
A mapped polygon represents an analytical distribution or interaction zone, not a surveyed frontier.
Why does this record have this property?
The mapped Flag Fen Basin polygon is a generalized research reconstruction from published wetland and settlement evidence, not an ancient frontier.
