Answer · Glozel: the inscribed tablets of the Fradin field

# A genuine Iron Age and Gallo-Roman site

The tablets and ceramics are genuine products of a Celtic and Gallo-Roman occupation of about 300 BC to AD 300, and the later dates come from reheating in medieval kilns and field fires.

**Still possible** Answers **1** question0

## Where it stands

**Still possible** One piece of evidence for, one against. It needs two reviews to be accepted.

## What it predicts

- Core samples from reheated tablets will retain an Iron Age TL signal under the medieval or modern surface signal.
- Inscribed tablets with Iron Age dates will carry signs cut before firing.
- Excavation in the valley will find Iron Age structures or stratified Glozel-type material.

## What would rule it out

- Surface and core TL on the Iron Age group agree and the core shows no older signal while modern fibres or plant matter are confirmed inside the same tablets.
- Sign-sequence statistics on the whole corpus match random draws from an alphabet table.
