I want to know the answer to the following question:
What traits did researchers use to divide the ten periods?
All the background I'm provided with is that "In 1981 a team of researchers from the Maison de l'Orient et de la Méditerranée, including Jacques Cauvin and Oliver Aurenche divided Near East neolithic chronology into ten periods (0 to 9) based on social, economic and cultural characteristics.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
