... of eclipses, on the assumption (contradicted by early writings) that the ancient sky was identical with our own; and employment of "Sothic" dating, based on the dubious assumption that the celestial body which the Egyptians called Sopdet and the Greeks Hellenized as Sothis was in fact the star Sirius. Physio-chemical retrocalculation takes the primary form of radiocarbon dating, based on the assumption that the electrochemical characteristics of Earth's atmosphere and biosphere have been relatively constant for at least 40,000 years. But, if this constancy assumption is erroneous, radio-chronological dating will yield false- and generally inflated- readings. (6 ) Consensualism, or the belief that scholarship can function reliably only if ...
252. What has Happened to Worzel's Deep-Sea Ash? [Journals] [Catastrophist Geology]
... particles into the atmosphere to reduce the amount of sunlight reaching the Earth, possibly enough to initiate a period of glaciation." All this took place in 1959. What research has been done on the samples after their preliminary shipboard examination? Have chemical analyses been published? What about the microfossils in the layers below and above? Are there radiocarbon dates available? Palaeotemperature measurements? Has the possible correlation with other parts of the world been further investigated? Are there new data from coring and echo-sounding that are relevant to this problem? I would appreciate receiving further details from readers who are acquainted with these matters, or else indications where information and/or references can be obtained. ...
253. 2nd SIS Cambridge Conference Abstracts [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... Bas van Geel, University of Amsterdam and Dr Hans Renssen, University of Utrecht The Impact of Abrupt Climate Change Around 2650 BP in NW-europe, Evidence for Climatic Teleconnections, and a Tentative Explanation A sudden and sharp rise in the 14C-content of the atmosphere, which occurred between ca 850 and 760 calendar years BC (ca 2750-2450 BP on the radiocarbon time scale), was contemporaneous with an abrupt climate change. In NW-Europe (as indicated by palaeoecological and geological evidence) climate changed from relatively warm and continental to oceanic (cooler and wetter). Archaeological and palaeoecological evidence for the abandonment of low-lying areas at the Bronze Age/Iron Age transition in The Netherlands is interpreted as the ...
254. New Paper on Bronze Age Catastrophes [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... major eruption on Santorini, which destroyed the extensive Late Bronze Age town at Akrotiri, with the end of Minoan Crete, the date of this eruption has generated more discussion and controversy than perhaps any other cataclysmic event in prehistory. Initial archaeological considerations favoured a date close to c. 1500 BC (Renfrew 1990a), whilst later, calibrated radiocarbon dates tended towards the 17th century BC (Kuniholm 1990). In 1977, Hammer noted a correlation between acidity, measured by electrical conductivity in the Crête ice core from central Greenland, and the timing of volcanic events on a world scale. It was further suggested that one particular acidity peak lay sufficiently close to the archaeological evidence for ...
255. Oceanic Impact may have Inspired Aboriginal Legend [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... and Dr. James Nott of James Cook University searched the Australian coastline for more evidence of tsunamis, another, almost incredible possibility emerged. "You find the signs all around the coast, once you know what you're looking for, and we found tsunami debris on the south coast, in Western Australia and around Cairns, and all the radiocarbon dates were similar," Prof. Bryant said. "You can't have one big tsunami approaching different parts of the Australian coastline from opposite directions. Unless these things are much more frequent than we think, there must be another explanation." "We're toying with the idea that the tsunamis were created by a comet that broke into ...

257. The Book Case [Journals] [Kronos]
... As we approach the year 2000, this book takes on added significance. Before Civilisation by Colin Renfrew. Available from Alfred A. Knopf, New York, N. Y. The book that provoked an archaeological revolution regarding the monuments of Northern Europe and their relationship to the earliest structures of the Mediterranean world. Important for the study of radiocarbon dating as well. For an excellent and provocative fictional account of mankind's first contact with extra-terrestrial aliens, the reader is encouraged to see Arthur Clarke's award-winning novel Rendezvous with Rama. Available in hard cover and paperback. The end of the story should leave one gasping. \cdrom\pubs\journals\kronos\vol0202\112books. ...

It will include papers by John Bimson (on the Hyksos and the archaeology of Palestine), Geoffrey Gammon (presenting an "absolute chronology" for the 18th Dynasty), Peter James (on the El-Amarna Letters), Euan MacKie (on the radiocarbon dates for the 18th Dynasty), and Martin Sieff (on the two Jehorams).

... University of South Florida PRIORITY To The Editor: I believe that Peter Smith in his "News and Views" article in Nature (Vol. 249, p. 511), "Does the Geomagnetic Field Affect Climate," may be inaccurate when he states, "de Vries seems to have been the first to propose a correlation between radiocarbon activity and climatic changes."
