Talk:Ortoire (archaeological site)

Notes on/during preparation
The draft article received reviewer Robert McClenon comment: "The statement that a site is "presumably" on the Ortoire River is not encyclopedic and is strange." Strange?

I began Draft:Ortoire while partipating in CFD Categories_for_discussion/Log/2020_December_13, which happens to appear just below a CFD on "Category:Named corners of raceways" for which i received notice.

Ortoire is currently (since 2007) a redirect to Ortoire River, whose drainage forms much of southeast Trinidad, and I believed it was indeed presumable that the archeological site is on the river.

I was thinking this should be an article, or perhaps Ortoire should be a redirect to coverage/mention of the site in Ortoiroid people article where I got the main source (but which i am unable to consult, myself). The Banwari Trace article mentions the "Ortoire assemblage", a set of artifacts presumably! from the Ortoire site, and refers to it being "much later ca BC 1000, and located in southeast Trinidad."

Also see/use [https://www.blackhistorymonth.org.uk/article/section/pre-colonial-history/ortoiroid-people- indigenous-caribbeans/ this source], but it is oddly a black history month article, apparently summarizing/repeating from elsewhere, and not providing any references/bibliography itself. And this academic article PDF about St Johns' Ortoiroid midden site in Trinidad (History in Action journal, title="Marine Subsistence at St. John Site in Trinidad: A Preliminary Study", by Zara Ali).

Then User:MB developed the article using several sources (not including the above). Thanks, great, I think it is good to go! And I submitted it, and I copied over/edited the above notes from my Talk page to here, just to keep it all recorded together. --Doncram (talk) 19:18, 14 December 2020 (UTC)
