What is tending to appear from all this* is some more possible information on the way cycles develop, progress sequentially, and multiply.

For example, the Neolithic period is said to have lasted from c8000bce to c3500bce in Iran, where it first occurred, but only from c4000bce to c2000bce in the British Isles** (assuming these are included in ‘Europe’). The latter was derived from the former. Ignoring the apparent sequential nature of these cycles – because there would obviously have been intermediate periods at intermediate locations – it would be interesting to see for how long the equivalent cycles in intermediate locations continued.

The obvious answer would be – other things being ‘equal’ – ***|along the lines|*** that that the length is in **** proportion to the distance/time of initiation from the first initiation of the culture; but these would not be precise historical cycles.
