The Scientific Study of Antiquity
Sudden dramatic breakthroughs in archaeological science, intertwined with new approaches to the understanding of classical texts and of depictions in various media, promise major new insights into both the physical realities and the mentalities of the classical world. DNA analysis of humans, animals, and pathogens; strontium isotope analysis of movements of individuals over the course of their lives; source analysis of clays and metals; plus tech…
Dating the Theran Eruption
The Interaction of Climate Change and Agency in the Collapse of Civilizations ca. 2300–2000 BC
Human history has been marked by major episodes of climate change and human response, sometimes accompanied by independent innovations.In the Bronze Age, the sequencing of causes and reactions is dependent in part on dendrochronology and radiocarbon dating.This paper explores the interaction of a major, prolonged desiccation event between ca.2300 and 2000 BC and human agency including migrations, the displacement of trading networks, warfare, the…
Dating the Emergence of Historical Israel in Light of Recent Developments in Egyptian Chronology
Recent evidence strongly supports a reduction in the duration of the pharaoh Horemheb's reign from 28 to 14 years. Further evidence strongly favours raising the accession year of Ramesses II from the previously conventional 1279 BCE to 1290 BCE to reflect the Horemheb reduction together with other minor adjustments. The first recorded appearance of the term 'Israel' from the Victory Stele of the Egyptian pharaoh Merneptah should accordingly be pl…

Minding the Gap
Problems in the Measurement, Calibration, Analysis, and Communication of Radiocarbon Dates (With Special Reference to the Prehistory of the Aegean World)
Radiocarbon dating encounters (1) problems of reservoir effects and regional/seasonal variation affecting the chronological reliability of measurements, (2) problems of calibration of measurements via comparison with tree segments of known dendrochronological dates, (3) problems of statistical inference with respect to the data pre- and post-calibration, and (4) problems of the analysis and communication of information to archaeologists, historia…

Mycenae
The absolute chronology of Late Helladic III A2 revisited
Recent dendrological and dendro/radiocarbon research has raised questions concerning dates previously proposed for the end of LH III A2 and the transition to LH III B. Moreover, further examination of the Mycenaean and Levanto-Mycenaean pottery from Kamid el-Loz in Syria has added relevant information, as has examination of the material from the Uluburun shipwreck and the Miletus excavation. Analysis suggests that the transition from LH III A1 to…
