92. The Countdown to a New Celestial Hazard [Journals] [Aeon]
... new celestial hazard is one of persistent meteor showers, frequent fireballs, errant Tunguska-like impactors and even full blown multi-Tunguska-like storms, representing the armageddon of old. The physical links with the Earth are such that a detailed global incidence of Tunguska-like events during the late Pleistocene and Holocene may now be in prospect. Such a pattern, tied to the dendrochronological timescale, is evidently the catastrophic framework of the future against which our cultural history will eventually be compared. It is this comparison that will presumably lead to the unification of our theological, mythological and cosmological inheritances which was the probable mainspring of Velikovsky's agenda.

... the bacteria that cause decay by complete immersion in the acidic water of peat bogs. The oak trees of Ireland and Germany alone seem to be the only common trees growing near to human settlements where inclusion in dwellings enables a chronological record to be established. (The Redwoods and the Bristlecone Pine have not been found on archaeological sites). Dendrochronology would be more useful if tree ring sequences could be established from samples found on the sites of human habitation such as in roof beams, etc, using common species growing locally, representing civilisations around the world. But hopefully this will come in time. David A. Slade, Tenerife, Canary Islands Subscription Renewals are due. Please ...
94. A Bit Creaky? - Tree Rings, Radiocarbon and Ancient History [Journals] [SIS Review]
... jumping to conclusions like these it should be borne in mind that the radiocarbon dates are calculated from measurements of minute variations in isotopic proportions and are very vulnerable to the effects of contamination and measurement errors. It is also worth remembering that the tree-ring dates could be wrong. Conclusions It is not the purpose of this article to argue that either dendrochronology or radiocarbon dating is nonsense, to be pilloried, ignored or discounted: entertaining doubt about an idea is quite different from proving it wrong, and I have no wish to throw out either of these potentially worthwhile babies with the bathwater. There is a great tendency amongst historians of all persuasions to treat tree-ring dates or radiocarbon dates as ...

... a specific problem or area of the ancient Near East. Some of the more prominent chapters concern the Greek Dark Ages; "Redating the Hittite Empire;" "Biblical Archaeology Without Egypt;" "Empty Years in Nubian History" as well as two chapters on Mesopotamian chronology. James' book concludes with several appendices on "Radiocarbon and Dendrochronology," "Greek and Roman Theories on Ancient Chronology," "The Venus Tablets of Ammizaduga" and "Synchronisms between Egypt, Mesopotamia and the Hittites during the Late Bronze Age." At over 400 pages, which includes Notes, Bibliography and Index, this book will make a valuable addition to the library of all would-be chronological ...
97. Homer in the Baltic [Journals] [Aeon]
... any reliable information regarding the author, or authors, of the poems had been lost before classical times, showing that they in fact belonged to a "barbaric" European civilization, very far from the Aegean, as had been noticed by authoritative scholars, such as Stuart Piggott in his Ancient Europe. Moreover, radiocarbon dating, corrected through dendrochronology, has recently questioned the dogma of the eastern origin of European civilization. Colin Renfrew describes the consequences for traditional chronology: "These changes bring with them a whole series of alarming reversals in chronological relationships. The megalithic tombs of western Europe now become older than the pyramids or the round tombs of Crete, their supposed predecessors. The ...
98. Science, Technology and the Chronology of the Ancient World [Journals] [Aeon]
... metallurgy and the working of stone were invented in Egypt and Mesopotamia, spreading from there to Europe via Anatolia and the Aegean. In this view, the Late Neolithic of western, northern, and central Europe was contemporary with the Early Bronze Age of the Aegean and the Near East. However, the discovery and application of radiocarbon dating and dendrochronology in the period from 1950 to 1970 led to the collapse of this diffusionist theory, as the new findings eventually convinced historians that copper metallurgy made its first appearance in central Europe, and that stone monuments were being constructed in northwestern Europe and in Malta before Egypt. [70] Ginenthal discusses the view of the philosopher, Thomas Kuhn ...
99. New Archaeological Dates for the Israelite Conquest Part I [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... found in tombs belonging to the supposedly contemporaneous Twelfth Dynasty. It also ignores stylistic differences and developments in tomb reliefs and inscriptions which indicate that the Old and Middle Kingdoms were not contemporaneous.21 And it must reject not only the evidence from radiocarbon dates (which generally support the conventional chronology for Egyptian dynasties) but also the much more accurate dendrochronological (tree-ring dating) system which has been used to correct and improve the radiocarbon dates.22 These difficulties are significant enough to cause most archaeologists and Egyptologists to reject Courville and Vaninger's chronology. But in addition, their system has internal problems with its correlations between archaeology and the Bible for periods after the conquest. As we have already ...
100. Polymathics and Catastrophism: A Multidisciplinary Approach to Problems of Evolutionary Theory [Journals] [Kronos]
... , there exists a virtual conspiracy of silence conceming the shakiness of regnant chronologies. The only occasion on which the unreliability of a long respected chronology is readily admitted is one that occurs when that chronology is finally abandoned in favor of another which is regarded as more "up to date". Such an abandonment occurred in the 1960's, when dendrochronology replaced radiocarbon dating among archeologists, especially those specializing in European prehistory. More precisely, archeologists who had previously accepted carbon-14 dates without reservation, encountered evidence that the amount of radiocarbon in the atmosphere varied from one millennium to the next, whereupon they insisted that all carbon dates be "calibrated" - that is, revised - so as ...
