Animal temporal comparison review¶
This review names the temporal comparisons that remain safe and the ones that would overclaim if direct aDNA rows and contextual archaeology rows were treated as one date model.
| Family | Rows | Comparison policy |
|---|---|---|
| Animal aDNA chronology | 1455 | Animal rows only support interval comparison when sample-owned chronology survives publication without false precision. |
| SEAD archaeology context | 2069 | SEAD rows remain site-level archaeology context even when numeric spans are available. |
Unsafe Comparison Findings¶
- Animal broad-period chronology rows remain visible in governance outputs and must not be treated as sample-owned numeric dates.
- SEAD rows that mix numeric spans with cultural or geologic labels remain contextual archaeology evidence, not direct event dates.
