Topic selection
Topics are selected from reader questions, search demand and gaps in the existing archive. A new article must answer a distinct search intent and should not repeat an existing page with slightly different wording.
Evidence hierarchy
Priority is given to excavation reports, museum catalogues, inscriptions, peer-reviewed research, academic books and official heritage documentation. Popular summaries may help explain a topic but do not replace the underlying evidence.
Claims and uncertainty
Disputed interpretations are labelled as such. When specialists disagree, the article presents the main evidence behind each position and avoids manufacturing certainty. Unsupported claims are described accurately without being amplified as fact.
Updates
Articles may be revised when new excavation results, improved dating, corrected translations or stronger research becomes available. Material changes are reflected in the updated date.
