| Prerequisite | Type | Confidence | Evidence level | Note | Sources |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Advanced Hunting & Gathering (advanced_hunting_gathering) | enabling | 68% | expert_inference | Advanced Hunting & Gathering provides a capability that enables this technology without being the only possible path. | No sources recorded. |
| Foraging & Botany (foraging_and_botany) | enabling | 68% | expert_inference | Foraging & Botany 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. |
