Aug 13, 2020 · Our preferred model dates the start of millet cultivation in the North Pontic region to the second quarter of the 2nd millennium cal bc (1650–1500 cal bc [68.2% probability] or 1780–1450...
The oldest monument with MBA burials was Barrow 3, in which the dead were buried in a two-stage sequence before and after the mid-2nd millennium BC. The youngest dated grave was Burial 1 in Barrow 1, comprising a collective burial that was interred between 1400 and 1200 BC.
The majority of calibrated dates belong to the second half of the 3rd to beginning of the 2nd millennia BC (2565–1885 BC; Table 5, Figure 3), thereby correlating with the previous 14C dating evidence. Only 2 dates (UBA-7920 and -7907) are very much at odds with the general range, belonging to the 1st millennium BC.
Radiocarbon (14 C) data for 2nd millennium BC urban sites in northern Mesopotamia have been lacking until recently. This article presents a preliminary dataset and Bayesian model addressing the Middle and early Late Bronze Age (Old Babylonian and pre/early Mittani) strata of Kurd Qaburstan—one of the largest archaeological sites on the Erbil ...
An extensive integrated radiocarbon and archaeological study of dynastic Egypt ( 16 ), covering 1700 years and incorporating 211 radiocarbon dates, can be used to support both the conventional and earlier proposed date ranges by indicating a start date for the New Kingdom of between 1570 and 1544 BCE.
In a recent paper, Keenan (2002) asserted that radiocarbon ages from the Mediterranean region from “earliest historical times (sic) until the mid-second millennium BC” are too old. He then put forward. a hypothesis (upwelling of old carbon from the stagnant Mediterranean) to explain his initial asser-tion.
