Where it stands
Still possibleOne piece of evidence for, one against. It needs two reviews to be accepted.
What it predicts
- Direct dating of the tablets (thermoluminescence if fired in antiquity, otherwise another method) gives a sixth-millennium BC result.
- Vlassa's field notes or a re-excavation show the pit, figurines and tablets as one closed deposit.
What would rule it out
- Direct dating gives a modern or a third-millennium date.
- Records or re-excavation show the tablets came from a higher layer or a different trench.
