Documented era places a social practice in the period when outside records first captured it. Wikipedia notes "from 1885 to 1951, the Government of Canada criminalized potlatches," an official record of a practice that continued underground the whole time. Browsing by documented era shows when a practice first appears in the written record, whether or not it began there.
