Chalcolithic – Early Bronze Age I Transition in the Southern Levant: The Lithic perspective
Open accessAbstract
Cet article procède à un examen comparatif des assemblages d’outils lithiques du Ghassoulien, culture principale du Chalcolithique, et de ceux des premières phases du Bronze ancien. Il a été proposé récemment que les lames cananéennes, qui représentent un type d’outil typique du Bronze ancien I, apparaissaient dès le Ghassoulien. Selon nous, cette thèse est invalidée par les différences importantes observées entre les assemblages d’outils lithiques de ces deux périodes, disparités qui reflètent des changements importants entre le Chalcolithique et le Bronze ancien.

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.
