Claim

The interpretation comes from digital and microscopic analysis of 18 Mizyn ivory figurines; geometric ornamentation was documented on 11 of them, so the claim that natural ivory lines informed engraved compositions concerns many but not necessarily every figurine.

None.

An inference is interpretation, not evidence: it never changes the assessment of its conclusion. Each premise is a claim with its own evidence.

Threads

None. Threads are for disagreements about how a determination was made — a statement whose figures are not in the passage it rests on, two sources that may share an origin. Something about the world belongs in the evidence above.
