SOUTHERN PALESTINIAN CHRONOLOGY: TWO RADIOCARBON DATES FOR THE EARLY BRONZE AGE AT TELL EL-HESI (ISRAEL)

摘要

Several articles reporting radiocarbon dates of Early Bronze Age (EB) material from excavations in the south-em Levant have been published over the last 30 yr. The excavations conducted at Tell el-Hesi have produced material from which 2 additional ~(14)C dates have been extracted to date. The 2 samples confirm the EB dating of Field VI material and suggest EB III settlement at Hesi might be earlier than previously reported based on pottery typology.
