Human inhabitation of Erskine area

"Archaeological evidence states that agricultural activity took place within the area as far back as 3000 BC and it has been inhabited by humans since 1000 BC. How does that statement make any sense? Agricultural activity taking place 2000 years before human inhabitiation? The reference should be checked to see if the dates have not been inverted or something. Farefeerfalling (talk) 00:45, 4 March 2023 (UTC)

Given that the statement is unsourced, it can't be checked. I have tagged it as needing a citation and as dubious. (It is not entirely incredible, if you read it the right way. There could be archaeological evidence of agriculture from 5000 years ago but no evidence of habitation earlier than 3000 years ago: that doesn't mean that it wasn't inhabited, only that no evidence has been found that it was.)

If a source is not produced within the next month or two, then the assertions should be deleted. --𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 16:21, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
