tentatively referred

Spanish translation: en un principio atribuyó

Science - Agriculture / Agricultura mesopotámica
English term or phrase: tentatively referred
Buenos días a todo el mundo. Me dirijo a ustedes para pedirles ayuda con la interpretación de la siguiente frase:

"Martin Cole tentatively referred the Red Ox agricultural artifacts to the Levantian culture, which he assigned to the Sumerian barley agro-region".

Según mi diccionario, "tentatively" significa provisionalmente, pero por el contexto y el tono de la frase, me parece que quiere decir algo como "con precaución" (que no suena muy bien en español). ¿Cómo lo traducirían ustedes en este contexto?

Como siempre, les doy las gracias de antemano.

O aún mejor, "atribuyó" en lugar de "asignó", para evitar la repetición.
