Primes

• Stack
  • The stratigraphic stack transferred from geology into archaeology, paleontology, and ice-core analysis as the dominant relative-dating discipline.

    Supported in partVerified against the work's full text

    The author's page shows Harris brought stratigraphic principles into archaeology and the book became that discipline's standard, but says nothing of geology, paleontology or ice cores.

    “Dr. Harris was the first to investigate the principles of stratigraphy in archaeology. Since the first publishing of the Principles of Archaeological Stratigraphy, the book has been the industry standard for this discipline.”

    This sourceApplies archaeological superposition to order stratigraphic contexts in a Harris matrix.

Verification

Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.

Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 2 citations: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
