Conclusion: Originating as an A-R linguistic group Cardassian culture begins at 31% fully literate with the proto-Cardassians Lonar and Ranor (Ranor likely the earlier). Rising to a cultural peak at 9% (though they wont refer to themselves as Cardassians until 7%- marking a global unified state, and likely contact with non-Cardassians) before declining down to 1%.
Military/political ranks: Gul and Legit predate 'Cardassia' emerging from the cultural peak prior to 'Global Unification'.
Food and drink: Yamok sauce appears around 4% likely indicating it is an import not produced on the Cardassian homeworld or produced from imported ingredients. Kanar on the other hand emerged on Cardassia around 29% near the beginning of Cardassian culture.
