Geography of the theme
Coverage is currently concentrated in one region. A theme confined to a single circuit is monitored more skeptically than one echoed across regions.

Historical Evidence Rush is currently classified as emerging. Discovery is becoming an institutional narrative in its own right: archaeology, restitution litigation, and conservation are all competing to turn fragments into authoritative history. The pressure point is not finding the past, but deciding who gets to name and own it.
