Tell Leilan Akkadian Imperialization, Collapse and Short-Lived Reoccupation Defined by High-Resolution Radiocarbon Dating
No full textThe article aims at reconstructing the Akkadian imperialisation at Tell Leilan, North-eastern Syria, presenting new data from excavations of the settlement's acropolis. High resolution C14 dates provide a strong chronological framework for the historical processes detected
14C Record and Wiggle-Match Placement for the Anatolian (Gordion Area) Juniper Tree-Ring Chronology ~1729 to 751 cal BC, and Typical Aegean/Anatolian (Growing Season Related) Regional 14C Offset Assessment
Get PDFThe East Mediterranean Radiocarbon (inter-)Comparison Project (EMRCP) has measured the 14C ages of a number of sets of tree rings from the Gordion Area dendrochronology from central Anatolia at the Heidelberg Radiocarbon Laboratory. In several cases, multiple measurements were made over a period from the 1980s to 2009. This paper presents the final data set from this work (128 high-precision measurements), and considers (i) the relationship of these data against the standard Northern Hemisphere 14C calibration data set (IntCal09), and (ii) the optimum calendar dating of this floating tree-ring record on the basis of the final set of high-precision 14C data. It finds good agreement between the Anatolian data and IntCal09 in some important intervals (e.g. ~1729 to 1350 cal BC) and observes one period (9th-8th centuries BC) where there appears to be some indication of a regional/growing season signal, and another period (later 14th-13th centuries BC) where IntCal09 may not best reflect the real 14C record. The scale of the typical growing-season-related regional 14C offset (Delta-R) between the Aegean/Anatolian region and IntCal09 is also assessed (for the mid-2nd millennium BC and mid-2nd millennium AD), and found to be usually minor (at times where there are no major additional forcing factors and/or issues with the IntCal09 data set): of the order of 2-4 +/- 2-4 yr.The Radiocarbon archives are made available by Radiocarbon and the University of Arizona Libraries.

(A) The posterior probability distributions from the models for each dataset and for datasets (a)+(c) combined with the 68.3% and 95.4% hpd ranges indicated by the upper and lower lines under each distribution. (B) The time interval (OxCal Difference query) between the posterior probability distributions–from (A)–for dataset (a) versus (c) and (a) versus (b), for dataset (c) versus (b), for datasets (a)+(c) versus (b), for dataset (a) versus (d) and for datasets (a)+(c) versus (d). The mean (μ) and median (M) of each difference is stated (in calendar years) as well as the 68.3% and 95.4% probability ranges.</p

Comparison of the calendar date ranges for the close of LMIB destructions at three sites on Crete versus the Thera eruption (TE, or TE5 = stage v) and the time interval in-between.
No full text(A) The modelled posterior probability for the Thera eruption (Fig 9) compared with the modelled posterior probabilities for the close of LMIB destructions at Chania, Myrtos-Pyrgos and Mochlos on Crete (Fig 10). Possible archaeological period relationships are indicated along with the suggestion of a potentially important absence of evidence in the earlier-mid 16th century BCE from very late LMIA through earlier LMIB, perhaps linked with the impacts and dislocation initiated by the Thera eruption. (B) The time interval (Difference query) between the Thera eruption and each of the LMIB destructions is shown. The mean (μ, ellipse) and median (M, cross) of each difference is stated.</p
