“…Dever 1992, 1997). These results are also considerably higher—by about a century—than the low Middle Bronze Age chronology, in which the transition from Middle Bronze II to Middle Bronze III is dated to ~1590 BC (Bietak 2013), even when the most recent range of the 95.4% probability distribution in our model is considered.…”

New Radiocarbon Dates from Tel Kabri Support a High Middle Bronze Age Chronology

This article presents new radiocarbon evidence from the Middle Bronze Age palatial site of Tel Kabri (Israel). The final phase of the palace (Phase III) can be dated to Middle Bronze Age II, with an end date around the transition from Middle Bronze II to III or very early in Middle Bronze III. According to our14C data, the end of Tel Kabri Phase III (and thus the transition from Middle Bronze II to III) can be dated to ~1700 BC. This date is about 50–100 yr earlier than traditional chronological models for the Middle Bronze Age propose (~1650 BC according to the traditional chronology or ~1600 BC according to the low chronology).14C data from Tel Kabri thus add additional evidence for a higher Middle Bronze Age chronology for the Levant, consistent with recent14C evidence from Tell el-Dabca (Egypt), Tel Ifshar (Israel), and Tell el-Burak (Lebanon).

“…Tell el-Dab c a (ancient Avaris, located in the eastern Nile Delta) currently serves as one of the key sites for the low Middle Bronze Age chronology (e.g. Bietak 2002, 2007, 2013; Ben-Tor 2004; Bietak et al 2008; Stager and Voss 2011).…”

“…These strata (C/2) are dated by scarabs of Ahmose, Ahmose-Nofretari, Amenhotep I, Thutmose III and early Amenhotep II (Bietak et al 2009). Even this terminus ante quem for the Santorini eruption shows 120 years offset between archaeological data and results of radiocarbon data (Kutschera et al 2012;Höflmayer 2012;Bietak 2013a).…”

“…It is the product of intense and continuous research and is based on a very wide range of sources (Table 3). Thus the results are extremely complex (Shortland 2013 Radiocarbon dates for the Second Intermediate Period and Dynasty XVIII are always put to one side because of the significant offset of 50-120 years for this period (Kutschera et al 2012;Höflmayer 2012;Bietak 2013a, contradicted by Warburton 2009Manning et al 2016).…”
