Where it stands

Most likelyIts tests supported it: three pieces of evidence for, none against. It needs two reviews to be accepted.

What it predicts

  • Sign shapes cluster by support (clay tablet, ball, metal, vessel) more than by subgroup.
  • The subgroups share sign frequencies and combinations once medium is controlled.
  • The subgroups are contemporary.

What would rule it out

  • With medium held constant, CM1, CM2 and CM3 texts still differ in sign inventory or combinations beyond chance.
