Es un texto del español al inglés sonbre las investigaciones arqueológicas que se han llevado a cabo en el sur de España.
El contexto:

Mi traducción es:

That's apparently what they say. It would, however, make more sense if they said"have provided/contributed all the information needed to study the El Argar culture" , as you suggest.

If you go ahead and use your own version, I think "accurately " would be better at the end of the sentence.

In regards to the Argaric culture, x and y have provided precisely the data necessary
...to accurately interpret its history.
I think changing the order a bit might be a good idea.
As for your suggestion, it sounds fine, except "accurately interpreted/analyzed" might be better/more common.
