Bias
edit"While settlement in the southern Laconia region usually dates as far back as the Early Bronze Age, archaeological evidence has shown that the Alepotrypa site was inhabited during the Neolithic period." - reads like the author is unaware that the Neolithic precedes the Bronze age. Thus I changed it.HJJHolm (talk) 08:23, 14 February 2018 (UTC)
- The site is not Early Bronze Age, as you change indicates - and what you wrote is also not a complete sentence. I reverted it as a good faith error, which is what I hope it was. Seraphim System (talk) 09:00, 14 February 2018 (UTC)
- I've changed it to "While settlement in the southern Laconia region usually dates to the Early Bronze Age, archaeological evidence has shown that the Alepotrypa site was inhabited as early as the Neolithic period." to make this clearer for readers unfamiliar with prehistoric periodization.Seraphim System (talk) 09:12, 14 February 2018 (UTC)
- Now its at least tolerable, however, the sentence about the BA still does not belong among the descriptions of the Neolithic.HJJHolm (talk) 13:58, 14 February 2018 (UTC)

More exact dates needed.
editMathieson et al. (2016) published aDNA results for three petrous skeletals (A561, A236, and A68), dating all archaeologically to 5000-3200 BCE for "Peloponnese Neolithic", which is by far not exact enough. Does anybody know of exact radiocarbon dating for the skeletons? Or can they be assigned to a particular sub period of the Greece Neolithic? HJJHolm (talk) 14:21, 14 February 2018 (UTC)
