I need a hardcore evidence that village was part of one kingdom
(A) A trading contract written in the Kingdom G dialect -
So if a contract is written in a village in US in French, does the village becomes situated in France or US only?
(B) A drawing of a dwelling complex known to have existed on the border of Kingdom F and Kingdom G in the ninth century
This is saying the village was in neither of the kingdom - goes against the stem because our answer will be neither
(C) Knives and other utensils made from metal typical of ninth-century mining sites in Kingdom F
What if there was frequent trading so the village was actually in Kingdom G, but people used the metal from Kingdom F?
(D) Some fragments of pottery made in the Kingdom G style from the seventh century out of materials only found in Kingdom F
Style is of Kingdom G and material of Kingdom F - this is increasing confusing not solving puzzle. Also I want to eliminate it because these are specifics of 7th century - what if things changed in 9th century?
(E) Numerous teeth from the ninth century with a chemical signature typical only of teeth from people who had grown up in the heart of Kingdom F
Now here a counter-argument I made was what if the village was in Kingdom G but the people who lived there were from Kingdom F which is why their teeth would be from there?
But it doesn't say they were born there ...it says 'THEY HAD GROWN UP' there.. grown up just doesn't necessarily mean uptil childhood, could mean as full adults - so the village could have been in Kingdom F

P1: 8th to 11th century, the shifting boundaries between Kingdom F and Kingdom G have not been well charted.
P2: Although a certain village in a border region between the two kingdoms usually belonged to Kingdom G,
P3: 9th artifacts found in the village were in the typical Kingdom F style of that time.
P4: It is unclear whether the village was actually a part of Kingdom F in the ninth century or whether it was a part of Kingdom G, as had merely adopted Kingdom F's artistic styles under Kingdom F's cultural influence.
We need to determine with surety that Villages belongs to which kingdom.
(A) A trading contract written in the Kingdom G dialect
if there is the trading contract, we can't predict villages from which kingdom, may be that artifacts are due to some trade, or the artifacts are originally from that same kingdom only, this increase the discrepancy.
(B) A drawing of a dwelling complex known to have existed on the border of Kingdom F and Kingdom G in the ninth century
(this can't even close that can help us out in defining)
(C) Knives and other utensils made from metal typical of ninth-century mining sites in Kingdom F
(same Discrepancy as given in the question, we are not able to decide with it)
(D) Some fragments of pottery made in the Kingdom G style from the seventh century out of materials only found in Kingdom F
(same Discrepancy as in the Question) not helping
(E) Numerous teeth from the ninth century with a chemical signature typical only of teeth from people who had grown up in the heart of Kingdom F
(yes, if there are only people from the kingdom F living there, then it's surety that the villages are into F)
