Explore through a culture
A culture is an entity of its own: it can span more than one period, and an object can belong to a culture other than the place where it was found.
The name of a culture describes an assemblage: vessel forms, materials, ways of working and contexts. It is not an identity card of a people, and it is not a period boundary. A culture therefore appears on the site as its own entity, with its region, with the periods it spans in the regional scheme where one exists, and with the objects whose source records attribute them to it.

Archaeological culture
The same assemblage of vessels appears on the site under two period pages. That is not a duplicated mistake but two classification frameworks, and the culture is the way to read them together.
