Abstract
Abstract. With the expansion of research on Late Antiquity in the early 80’, the question of the datation of finds was a task that could not be escaped, for the advancement of these studies. In Provence and Languedoc, on the credit of the CATHMA programme (Céramique de l’Antiquité tardive et du haut Moyen Âge) which had this ambition, about fifteen reports have been devoted to the finalization of a typochronological reference pattern. In connection with the development of urban excavations, and as well in the countryside, this activity could use new discoveries and in turn help to work out a fine dating pattern. The stratigraphical data given by these excavations constituted a decisive step. A preliminary Dictionnaire des Céramiques antiques gave a large place to these Late southern productions and to Mediterranean imports. The book is not complete and now out-of-print; it should be published again and reactualized with important new evidence. A collective project has been working also in Rhône-Alpes on a chronological typopological reference system and more recently several surveys, on a larger area, were carried out on adornments. This research had effects in several Mediterranean areas. From Tunisia to the Near East amphorae and pottery fabrics and glass workshops have been located or re-examined with the help of new methods of study. Consequently, from now on, it is possible to propose fine datations up to 50 years, even within a quarter of a century, at least until the 6th century. Markers get poor afterwards and there is still much to do, especially to confirm and determine a number of points, due to systematic radiocarbone datation. This improvement of chronological criteras allow to escape approximative interpretations. Outside pottery studies bringing precise datation, more basically one had to examine the distribution of distant imports as of regional products and to follow their ebb and flow. Thus a history of trade is gradually emerging, avoiding presuppositions and stereotypes of a weakened economy in Late Antiquity.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
