The corpus reader remains usable; map points require Leaflet and a network basemap.
Current stage: complete source ingestion, high-recall metallurgy discovery and translation-layer preparation.
The transliteration is the diplomatic source text from DĀMOS. The Linear B tab is a derived Unicode rendering generated from that transliteration, analogous to the script mode in the Cuneiform corpus. It is not a second independent reading. Editorial marks and any signs/logograms that cannot be mapped safely remain transliterated.
Relative phases such as LM IIIA2 or LH IIIB are accompanied by approximate BC ranges. These are conventional archaeological phase concordances, not exact dates for individual tablets. Broad or alternative DĀMOS labels therefore produce correspondingly broad ranges. Date sorting uses the midpoint of the displayed range and puts undated documents last.
Translations are stored as a separate provenance-bearing interpretive layer. Published human translations, Kassiteros editorial translations and machine-assisted translations must be visibly distinguished. Machine output may never silently fill lost text or turn an uncertain lexical interpretation into fact.
Direct lexical/logogram hit means an explicit configured metallurgy trigger occurs in the DĀMOS transcription. Context-only series review means the tablet belongs to a specialist series (currently PY Jn or KN Oa/Og) included to prevent keyword-only omissions. Context inclusion is not itself a semantic claim.
LiBER document images remain external third-party material and retain source rights. Kassiteros does not relicense them.
Map points are sourced independently and carry a precision/certainty label. A site-level point must never be read as a room-level findspot; original DĀMOS find-area and findspot fields are retained separately.
DĀMOS is the machine-readable backbone. LiBER is used as a critical/image linkage layer where a record provides a cross-reference. Every document keeps direct source links.
