Assessment
Supported
Main unresolved issue: 3 counted evidence items have no independence review; repeats of one origin may be counted as several coverage:30bb5c7a-3251-8cc5-b3aa-b26eed15dc03
Not yet independently audited.Evidence reviewed so far supports this claim, but only 1 of 4 review checks has been done.Every quoted passage was confirmed on the page when Galedra fetched it.
Why?
Strongest counted support: The Antiquity article reports 35 analyzed samples and copper and tin-bronze production by co-smelting and cementation, up to 12 wt% tin. weight 1.800000 evidence
Suppressed as dependent: The excerpt directly reports 35 analyzed samples, copper and tin-bronze production, co-smelting and cementation, and up to 12 wt% tin.
Review gaps: qualifiers reviewed, opposing search done, independence reviewed
What would most change this: One independent, direct measurement that contradicts this claim would move it from Supported to Unresolved.
