Where it stands
Still possibleTwo pieces of evidence for, one against. It needs two reviews to be accepted.
What it predicts
- Objects with medieval dates will be glassworking waste, bone and plain ceramics rather than inscribed or figured pieces.
- A regional study will find medieval or post-medieval glassworks of the same type in the Bourbonnais hills.
- The inscribed and figured objects will cluster in the modern TL group once systematically dated.
What would rule it out
- Inscribed tablets with signs cut before firing give concordant medieval or Iron Age dates across laboratories.
- The 2023 full report's stratigraphy shows no medieval glassworking at all.
