Burzahom archaeological site

 * ... that a painted pottery (pictured) of the Neolithic period from the Burzahom archaeological site is a globular red ware pot made on a turntable?


 * ALT1: ... that from an archaeological point of view the "Aryans in Kashmir" is a misconception as Vedic Aryans have not been traced in Kashmir from the explorations (a pottery find pictured) at Burzahom?

 * Symbol question.svg Article was indeed created by the nominator, and in the required time. Non lede paragraphs are all referenced. The page is adequately large. Picture is relevant, in article and free. Hook is in the article, referenced, and confirmed on the page before the one linked. However there is an error in the article sentence with the hook.  The Goat was black, not the pot. So I think this should be corrected. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 11:50, 3 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Thank you . I misread the text in the last line of page 41. I have corrected it now. -- Nvvchar . 12:21, 3 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg correction confirmed, so good to go with original hook. Hook alt1 is also present and cited and confirmed in the reference. Though as it is worded it is a bit confusing as it has no context.  So I suggest using original hook. Good to go. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 20:52, 3 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg I find both hooks difficult to read. How about:
 * ALT2: ... that a Neolithic red pot depicting a wild goat with long horns and hanging ears (pictured) was unearthed from the Burzahom archaeological site? Yoninah (talk) 22:22, 11 April 2015 (UTC)
 * But the connection between the hook and the image is not verified. Do you have a source connecting the image and the description, to add to the picture caption in the article? Yoninah (talk) 22:22, 11 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I have cited the relevant text both in the article and in the caption below the img. ALT2 hook is fine with me,-- Nvvchar . 01:10, 12 April 2015 (UTC)
 * thank you for the cites. But the only verification of the painting on the pot is coming from the Wikimedia Commons image, which attributes it to a museum and calls it a "horned figure". Since there are no images in Kaw or the other source you provided, I wonder how we can identify the figure with a wild goat?
 * I wonder if you could provide another hook, even without a picture. The Vedic Aryans angle is interesting, although not fully explained in the article. Here is another idea:
 * ALT3: ... that dogs and deer were buried together with humans by Neolithic peoples, as found in the Burzahom archaeological site? Yoninah (talk) 10:15, 12 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Fine. Then, it is ALT3 hook as suggested by you. Thanks.-- Nvvchar . 11:08, 12 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg Thanks. New reviewer needed to sign off on ALT3 hook. Yoninah (talk) 12:05, 12 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg alt3 checks out ok, short enough, in article (in two places) (and assuming that humans did the burials) referenced and confirmed. Good to go with alt3. no pictured in this. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 09:33, 13 April 2015 (UTC)
 * . Thanks.-- Nvvchar . 10:22, 13 April 2015 (UTC)
