  • Great Zimbabwe imported metals and alloys from other areas, including tin from Rooiberg 500 km away and brass from the Indian Ocean rim.

    “Great Zimbabwe also imported metals and alloys from other areas, such as tin from Rooiberg, 500 km away in northern South Africa (Grant 1999;Molofsky et al. 2014), and brass from the Indian Ocean rim (Bandama et al. 2017).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
