Editorial note
What the record supports
A date span expresses the evidence available to the museum; it should not be silently reduced to a precise year.
We reproduce the published culture and place fields from the museum. We do not use resemblance to identify an unrecorded object, and we do not add ceremonial meaning without an object-specific source.
