Good idea!
Maybe use a word more connected to "time".
Maybe "era" instead of civilization?
When I read civilization, I thought it was supposed to tag
UNESCO world heritage :-)
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Building_attributes
have a somewhat similar proposal on:
building:architecture
That is supposed to be used to describe from which architectural period
the building is made in, or made to look like.
It have been well received, so will your suggestion be too, I think.
historic=archaeological_site could use this to.
In archaeology they speak of:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archeological_culture.
Just some random ideas (a bit off-topic maybe) from me: Johan Jönsson
