In principle for storing such data, an event based system surely is the
way to go.

However, "other dating evidence found in the same context" assumes
propagating your dating evidence throughout your objects in a systematic
way. In order to not create artifacts such a propagation must be
dynamic: Given you have a date "post t1" in a context, which you
propagate to all inherent objects, you want to supersede that date in
all instances once you identify a second "post t2". If you think this to
the end you quickly end up with a very complicated graph-theoretical
problem (similar to Harris-matrices). The nature of the propagation
mechanism as such is probably outside the scope of the CIDOC-CRM, with
myriad ways of implementation.

Good practice would be to record data in an event based system, but keep
dates at a local level - meaning in the raw record the date event should
only be connected to the coin within the context, not the context
itself. Propagation of dates throughout the system belong to the realm
of secondary interpretation.

Best, Max

Any comments on this?
"Only in conjunction with other dating evidence found in the same context
may that date be ascertained to a reasonable degree of accuracy. This adds a
whole other level of
combinatory complexity, providing an excellent justification for investment
in event based recording systems such as CIDOC-CRM."
