English term or phrase: and as it were ushered in a new archaeological period

This state of things endured uninterruptedly until the earthquake at the end of the 16th century involved a reconstruction of the buildings and as it were ushered in a new archaeological period, that is of the late bronze age (c 1500 BC.......conventional dating).

No veo como enlazarlo con lo anterior.

to usher in = inaugurar (época); introducir, anunciar; escoltar
Para mi gusto, \"introducir\" calza mejor en el contexto.
