| Prerequisite | Type | Confidence | Evidence level | Note | Sources |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Charcoal Production (charcoal_production) | enabling | 68% | expert_inference | Charcoal Production provides a capability that enables this technology without being the only possible path. | No sources recorded. |
| Fire Control (fire_control) | historical_predecessor | 75% | expert_inference | Fire Control is an earlier historical predecessor or foundation, not a one-to-one engineering dependency. |
|
| Basic Woodworking (woodworking_basic) | historical_predecessor | 75% | expert_inference | Basic Woodworking is an earlier historical predecessor or foundation, not a one-to-one engineering dependency. |
