"So may I ask what constitutes the information that indicates prehistoric provenance. A photo? Fieldnotes? IMO these don't prove a thing."

You seem to be looking for certainty - prehistoric or not prehistoric. But that's unachievable in a lot of cases, they're "maybes" of differing degrees. So what's wrong with what's offered - add an argument in favour and leave it to the Eds to be persuaded or otherwise. Seems like the only practical approach to me.

Not at all. Just clarification of the moderation process and hopefully some consistency.

Plenty if an editor applies the tag without research as I said before.

There is another approach which is quicker and less hassle which some may be tempted to follow. Just delete the site and post elsewhere!
