... wind or waterborne pumice from Thera (or elsewhere) could have been brought to the site at different times. Also, as Phillips says, because of the problems and confusion surrounding C14 dates, many archaeologists now do not use this dating method'. However, if the next most favoured date' for Thera from both ice cores and dendrochronology of c. 1159BC is eventually confirmed, many chronologists (both conventional and revisionist) will have to do some serious rethinking. There are a few more obvious problems worth mentioning in passing. While dating the Exodus to the Amarna period, Phillips does not say how the traditional biblical periods of the Conquest, Judges, and the eras ...
62. Calibrated Radiocarbon and the 'Methodological Fault-Line' [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the surrounding areas whose history is intimately linked with these two have a low' chronology based on historical and ceramic evidence whereas there is a high' chronology for the rest of Europe based on calibrated radiocarbon. It is instructive to see how two leading scientists perceive the calibrated radiocarbon dating phenomenon. Dr Mike Baillie, pre-eminent in the world of dendrochronology, denies that calibrated radiocarbon produces dates incompatible with the historical chronology, indicates that there are no problems for the scientists - the historians must come to terms with the scientific evidence - and hints that his scientific method is superior to anything archaeology can come up with [18]. Professor (now Lord) Colin Renfrew, the architect ...
63. Wild Motions, Angular Momentum and Other Problems [Journals] [SIS Review]
... IVR IV, corroborates the longer sequence of C. W. Ferguson back to 3435 BC. Sorensen's impressive critique of the original bristlecone pine chronology appears to have been seriously undermined in the year it appeared. See also LaMarche, Jr. and Hirschboeck in Nature 307, 12 January 1984, pp. 121-126, for a good bibliography on dendrochronology. Finally, I do not enjoy pointing out all these problems; but their existence needs to be made known. If I could solve them I would. My collaboration with V. J. Slabinski began in 1979 as a constructive attempt to solve problems. I would really prefer that the invocation of wild motions and the sequence of ...
64. L'Énigme de la Structure Elliptique [Journals] [SIS Review]
... , I did cover myself in 1998 p. 29 - my last sentence said the 1628 BC event in the tree rings may turn out to be Thera after all'. Whether 1645 or 1628, there is still a mismatch with the archaeo/historical dating (early 18th Dynasty) and until someone actually does a proper publication of a dendrochronology or an ice core, revisionists are free to ignore scientific' dates. R. M. Porter The Parthenon F.C . Penrose, astronomer, archaeologist and a friend of Norman Lockyer, calculated that the Greek temple, the Parthenon, was astronomically orientated towards the Pleiades. He proposed that it was constructed in about 1150BC. ...
65. Chaos and Creation by Alfred de Grazia [Books] [de Grazia books]
... a set of problems is to be found anywhere in the realms of science and scholarship. Every discipline is implicated in the theory of ancient catastrophes - psychology, sociology, linguistics, archaeology, biology, physics, chemistry, astronomy, and geology, together with their many subdivisions down to special and new sciences, such as plasma physics, dendrochronology, and mega-vitamin therapy [1 ]. It has something to say about "the Jupiter Effect," "the Ion Effect," and "the Bermuda Triangle," not to mention "Ancient Astronauts," and the hominids of Olduvai Gorge. Every bite of the archaeologist's spade, every oceanographer's deep coring of the sea bottom ...

67. Recent Developments in Near Eastern Archaeology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... one point - a discrepancy which has never been explained. Thus we can not rule out a dating for the Nebuchadnezzar' destructions in the 5th century, the very time that was suggested by James et al in Centuries of Darkness for Lachish Str. II. This is not to say that we should necessarily accept radiocarbon calibration, as the dendrochronology on which it is based has never been published except in brief preliminary articles. However, another line of evidence also suggests that the Nebuchadnezzar' destruction horizon can not be down-dated beyond the 5th century - Greek pottery. Notable styles of Greek pottery found in the Levant are East Greek Wild Goat', Athenian Black Figure' and Athenian ...
68. Exodus [Journals] [SIS Review]
... claimed the Pyramid Texts must have been written after the Exodus - either the Exodus preceded the Old Kingdom or the Texts were written after the end of the Middle Kingdom. The Exodus story has as its background a human migration from one land to another, involving what became known as Palestine. At the end of the 4th millennium BC, dendrochronology indicates another major dust veil event coinciding with the end of the Early and Middle Neolithic Period in Britain and Ireland [13]. This event coincides with an episode towards the end of the Late Chalcolithic Period in Syria-Palestine when every site appears to have been destroyed in a dreadful conflagration. Intriguingly, the physical human remains of the Late ...
69. How Old is Greenland's Ice Cap? [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... recovered in the 15th century: one reproduced by Hapgood clearly depicts ice sheets in parts of the north - retreating glaciers in southern Sweden, where they no longer exist today, but most of southern and north-west Greenland ice-free, with ice only in the north-east and fingers' extending from this to the south. Just as in tree-ring dating (dendrochronology), the technique of dating ice cores is really part science, part art. The age of the ice can not be measured directly - it can only be inferred from its layering and variations in composition; this is not an easy task at great depths, where the ice has been squeezed and has flowed under tremendous pressure. ...
70. Radiocarbon Dating: An Archaeological Perspective [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... for understanding and pursuing such issues. For these reasons, I strongly recommend Taylor's work to all revisionist chronologists. Study it, and you will be armed with a solid understanding of the radiocarbon dating methodology and its strengths and weaknesses My only caveat is that Taylor's discussion of secular variations as evidenced by tree-ring calibrations proceeds on the assumption that the dendrochronological work is correct - an assumption that I have elsewhere contested as regards the European oaks. This flaw notwithstanding, the book is outstanding. One hopes that in the future Taylor will put out updated editions. Jesse E. Lasken, 1991 \cdrom\pubs\journals\workshop\w1992no1\40radio.htm ...
