Subject: map cataloging question re: date of publication vs. date of
situation

Hi All,
I have a map cataloging question about which date to record in the LC
call number: the date of situation or the date of publication? I know
that usually we use the date of situation, but this example is tricky
because there is no date listed on the item (ocm31265380). A
cataloger-supplied date I found in the bib record says “1965.” However,
this is a map of trade routes and commerce in Europe in the “Middle
Ages.” (There is no EXACT date, but I’m guessing 1100-1600?) For a call
number I have G5701.Q1 1965 |b T4. In this case should I just use that
inferred-publication date, or should I use 1100-1600 in the call number?
Any suggestions welcome J
Thanks!
