I am sorry I hope I didn't offend anyone. The page refers to times between 5500 and 2750 BCE, so it is unlikely that any country (even as a concept) existed that has any links to 16th or 17th century.

Ah, so you only want to sue era-appropriate names. What was that region called in 5500 BCE?

It seems to me using the current names of places for finds is pretty standard, and gives a modern audience a decent chance of understanding it. Is the a particular reason you object to it in this specific case?
