  1. *Dating based on the burial contexts.
  2. **Defined based on individual’s 14C dates with Oxcal commands ‘Phase/Boundary’. Phase boundaries provide estimate for starts and ends of the site usages. Phase boundaries are here defined for sites with four or more individuals with 14C dates. The mean values are given. Radiocarbon dates include datings presented in this study and datings published elsewhere. See Section 2.2, Supplementary Material S2 and Supplementary Table S2 for more detailed information.
