Archaeology / Bronze Age settlement
Italian term or phrase: in fase
this is the entire sentence: "Lo scavo sistematico condotto tra il 1995-1996 e tra il 2003-2005, ha consentito di esplorare un lembo di un più vasto insediamento pluristratificato. A partire dai livelli superiori, sono state individuate: due capanne in materiale deperibile, in fase con reperti del bronzo recente- finale, un paleosuolo e parte di una capanna costruita del bronzo medio."
does this mean "dating back to the same period"?

as you say, they would almost certainly "date back to the same period", but the emphasis here is on how the excavation progressed, since this is clearly an archaeological report.
