From Physical Constraints to Archaeological Discontinuities

This work presents a long-form analytical framework for evaluating a specific class of archaeological cases characterized by extreme geometric precision, hard-stone processing, large-scale material removal, logistical asymmetries, and persistent documentary silence.

The document does not propose alternative historical narratives, lost civilizations, or extraordinary agents. Instead, it formalizes a restrictive protocol of inclusion, a heuristic anomaly index for prioritization, and a set of non-invasive experimental methodologies designed to test or refute anomalous status under classical physical constraints.

Particular emphasis is placed on distinguishing between historical silence and modern observational closure, on treating absence as a structured constraint rather than evidence, and on explicitly defining falsifiability conditions at both the site-specific and framework level.

The framework is intended as a methodological tool rather than an explanatory doctrine. Its value lies in identifying where conventional archaeological explanations may become insufficient under simultaneous physical, logistical, and documentary requirements, thereby justifying continued measurement and interdisciplinary investigation rather than premature interpretative closure.

This work is released as an open research contribution and is explicitly exposed to empirical refutation.
