There is an article about the Bottle Creek site on the EncyclopediaofAlabama.org -- http://www.encyclopediaofalabama.org/face/Article.jsp?id=h-1160 -- Perhaps it constitutes an external link?

Coordinate error

edit

{{geodata-check}} The coordinates need the following fixes:

I was there today and located it at +31° 0' 31.69", -87° 56' 26.04"

The location on maps using the old coordinates is too far south. 74.249.121.141 (talk) 22:48, 15 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

Established and disestablished dates

edit

The cited source says, The site is believed to have had its pri[n]cipal occupation between AD 1250 and 1550.[1] That became The site was occupied between 1250 and 1550, ... in the article. And yesterday and again today the article was moved from Category:Populated places established in the 13th century to Category:Populated places established in 1250 and from Category:Populated places disestablished in the 16th century to Category:Populated places disestablished in 1550, which is much too specific for dating an archaeological site. I have reverted those changes, and also removed the existing Category:1250 establishments and Category:1550 disestablishments. I understand that editors in good faith see dates in an article and want to brings categories into line with those dates, but that can be a problem if they do not understand that dates for archaeological sites are almost always approximate and often very broad estimates. The point is that we do not know what year, or decade, or maybe even century, in which the site was first and last occupied. All we have are archaeologists' best guesses as to the general period for most of the archaeological evidence of occupation. The is no support in the cited sources for any specific date. - Donald Albury 14:58, 25 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
