your right the neolithic is a chronological distinction, whilst the issues arising about mobility and sedentarism (territorialism) jusxtaposed to technological attributes (including floral and faunal remains) and the assemblege repertoire (the characterisation of that assemblage).
so the neolithic can imply sedentarism as opposed to settlement, as settlement (building and or formulation activities) has no reference to mobility, with Long mounds and causeway camps being case and point.
however
without dendrochronologically calibrated radio-carbon dates, then we are left with a much broader range of concepts, which can imply or infer a greater deal of inconsistencies and agreement in regards to the differential preservation environments in regards to the taphonomy of the material to be considered as evidenciary support.
so :face-topic:
