Research section

This section says:

"In his works, he separates time into the following periods:

The early complex societies, 3500 to 500 BCE
The formation of classical societies, 500 BCE to 500 CE
The postclassical era, 500 to 1000 CE
An age of cross-cultural interaction, 1000 to 1500 CE
The origins of global interdependence, 1500 to 1800 CE
An age of revolution, industry and empire, 1750 to 1914 CE
Contemporary global realignments, 1914 to present"

I'm not sure that this is really a synthesis of his own personal periodization. These categories are actually just section headings from the textbook TRADITIONS & ENCOUNTERS, for which he is listed as co-editor with Herbert F. Ziegler. This section should be revised to delete this portion, as it is supremely silly to assume that Mr. Bentley had his own unique periodization. Unclebanglin (talk) 13:28, 13 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

For a direct argument by Bentley for a specific world historical periodization read: Jerry H. Bentley, “Cross-Cultural Interaction and Periodization in World History” The American Historical Review, Volume 101, no. 3 (June1996): 749-770. http://www.learner.org/courses/worldhistory/support/whatis_reading_2.pdf Yet I am not sure if he brought this particular periodization in practice somewhere. It is not entirely equal to the periods of Traditions and Encounters. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cruon (talk • contribs) 14:43, 19 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
