Featured Does anyone know what BCE attribution means?

I know what BCE means, but I'm not sure what it means when followed by the word attribution. Sorry if that's a really dumb question.

 

Are you saying someone is using that term to describe the age/antiquity of an object?

 

Yes.

 

This is the description in full: Evcavated Pottery Bird, Crete, Ancient Form, BCE Attribution, L 8"

 

Ya , I'm down with that !
But without context .....I'll just say that attribution just means that here ...the thing is being given a time frame of Before the Common Era .

Edit.....context now known.......same answer.!

 

Cool. I posted the whole description above if that helps. Thanks for the quick reply.

 

They just won't commit to it's age......so....anytime before Christ.

 

Thanks!

 

Welcome!

 

I looked that up. The pictures are horrible, and description makes no mention of what it's made of. Did you see it in person?

 

Evcavated........????

Ya gotta wonder.....

 

Buried last year, maybe? Sorry, I have no idea. It might be really old, and might be made to look old; I wouldn't know from here.
