Where it stands

Still possibleNone pieces of evidence for, one against. It needs two reviews to be accepted.

What it predicts

  • TL or radiocarbon on inscribed tablets would give dates before 3000 BC.
  • A Neolithic occupation layer would be found in the Champ des Morts.

What would rule it out

  • About 40 dates and the controlled excavation have found nothing older than the Iron Age; the position is already ruled out on that evidence.
