Alternative Explanations for Anomalous 14 C Ages on Human Skeletons Associated with the 612 BCE Destruction of Nineveh
Three factors—contamination, a dietary reservoir effect, and a regional δ 14 C anomaly—are considered as possible contributing explanations for an almost 2-century offset between the historically documented age of 612 BCE and the calibrated ages of 9 14 C determinations obtained on 3 human skeletons directly associated stratigraphically with an archaeologically—and historically—defined 612 BCE event at the ancient site of Nineveh in northern Meso…
Excavations at Nineveh
The University of California Expedition to Nineveh excavated at the Halzi Gate in 1989 and 1990. The gate proved to be one of Nineveh's larger defensive gates and a scene of chaos and destruction. Tower 4 to the south of the gate was of irregular masonry, having been hastily rebuilt.
