the bulk of the evidence Explanation: These passages are concerned with dating the artifacts or concepts in question. 'Schwerpunkt' is being used in a special sense, - probably current academic jargon, indicating specification of date: So: the first example I would translate 'the bulk of the evidence points to mid-1st century; the second, 'indeed the bulk of the evidence clearly indicates or points to mid- to late 2nd century A.D.; 'Umlaufsschwerpunkt,' principle period of distribution'; 'Gebrauchsschwerpunkt',' 'principle period of use.' |
