Does "medieval" apply outside the Eurasian context? Does it make any sense to categorize various indigenous American civilizations as medieval, or does the term only apply to a time period?
I may have seen it used before, but pre-Colombian almost always makes more sense. And even that label is still defining things through colonizer terms rather than indigenous ones.

Pre-(transoceanic) contact makes a lot of sense because it really deeply transformed everything.
