  • Radiocarbon dating opens up new frontiers in the study of tree longevity

    Open AccessJordan Palli, Michele Baliva et al.ARTICLERadiocarbon2026Referências: 52

    Long-lived trees support biodiversity at multiple scales, maintain ecosystem functionality, serve as natural archives, and hold cultural and aesthetic value. Despite their importance, the maximum longevity of many tree species remains poorly understood, limiting the design of effective conservation strategies. Challenges in obtaining reliable tree ages are commonly represented by natural wood decay, sampling obstacles, and indistinct or absent an…

  • Jericho and the Chronology of Palestine in the Early Bronze Age

    Open AccessL Nigro, Lucio Calcagnile et al.ARTICLERadiocarbon2019Citada por: 6Referências: 20

    The absolute chronology of Early Bronze Age in the Levant has been the object of a major revision (Regev et al. 2012a), which implied an increase of at least two centuries in respect of traditional chronology. Such a shift back was based upon two sites (Tel Yarmouth, Megiddo) which were the backbone of the “reform,” but actually do not offer complete sequences for the whole EBA. This was the weakest stone of the revision, together with a partial …
