I have not got time at this late stage to give you detailed feedback as I am travelling. I will try to get some more info to you a little later. Right now what this needs is the discussion of what the significance is of these results for our understanding of the period involved. This includes saying how the results contributed o our understanding of the LBA collapse and it's environmental circumstances? What does it tell us about the environmental change? What does it tell us about agricultural conditions and responses in the BA and IA more broadly? Doe the results match or conflict with other studies? Also, what does it not tell us and what are the strengths and weaknesses of this approach. Does multi-method analysis do much and is it worth pursuing? What additional data and methods would help to understand your results?
You must show an understanding of the literature and how your resulted fit, not just an understanding of the results at the site. This does not need to be super long at this stage but needs to be fully referenced.
More later
