How these dates were made

Why this bar's edges are floors, not a founding and a fall.

The atlas draws the world at 13 moments in time, not continuously. This bar runs from the first snapshot in which Māori appears to the last, so both edges are floors — the earliest and latest years it is attested, not a founding and a dissolution.
