Qohaito: highland settlement and productive hinterlands

No ancient self-designation is inferred from this research label or modern place name.

Eritrea's Tentative List account distinguishes earlier background from substantial first-millennium CE remains. Curtis and Libsekal document settlement research around Adi Qeyeh; sampled sites are not a census of all highland inhabitants. Qohaito's proposed identification with ancient Koloe is not certain and does not establish a universal highland capital.

The orientation may be far from the archaeological context. No access, collecting or travel permission is implied.

Transformación posterior, patrimonio vivo y recepción moderna

Living communities and heritage institutions retain their own authority; the atlas cannot establish identity, ancestry, descent or membership. Living Saho stewardship does not prove a single ancient language or automatic biological continuity. Later research, restoration and heritage events are dated separately in the timeline.

Broad chronology Eritrea's Tentative List account distinguishes earlier background from substantial first-millennium CE remains.
