... and also with the archives of Boghazkoi: on some cuneiform tablets from these archives there are impressions of (pictograph) seals made when the clay was soft, before firing. At a later date the excavator at Alisar submitted a piece of wood found under the wall of the Acropolis in Level III, first labelled Old Bronze, to a radiocarbon test. The result had it that the wood was seven hundred years more recent than expected on the basis of the accepted historical chronology.6 The same repentant author who revoked his estimate of Alisar IV and ascribed it to the post-Phrygian time had written a few years earlier: "There are no historically known circumstances which would adequately explain ...

... miles from the quarry. Now a road has been discovered linking the two. It was made with thousands of slabs of limestone and sandstone and logs of petrified wood and was dated by the Old Kingdom artefacts found in association with it. If the wood was not actually petrified at the time of use it will be interesting to have some radiocarbon dates. If the Old Kingdom dates are as accepted at present, this makes it the oldest paved road in the world. Some things never change New Scientist 21.5 .94, pp. 30-33 A 7th century village in Central America was buried under volcanic ash and provides a perfect picture of life in that period. It ...

... 14 (1977) pp147-8 Is Biblical Chronology too short?While those revising ancient history beaver away, removing Dark Ages' and alter egos of famous characters and arguing about whether the dates should be reduced by 300, 600 or 1,000 years, some people are swimming in the opposite direction. In a recent paper (A-01: Radiocarbon and Biblical Chronology), G.E . AArdsma of the Institute for Creation Research argues that'. . . traditional biblical chronology leaves out a full millennium just prior to 1,100BC. This is believed to be due to the accidental loss in antiquity from the biblical text of the leading digit from the key Biblical number used ...

... strata by what they see as climate cycles preserved therein. Unfortunately this new chronology was at first at odds with radiometric datings, so the previously hallowed radiometric datings have been challenged! Even worse, they are suggesting their new astronomical' data be used to recalibrate radiometric datings, rather like the Bristlecone pine has been used to calibrate previously unacceptable radiocarbon dates. The discrepancy between the two is not surprisingly becoming negligible. How long before they are proving the regularity of Earth's orbital changes by a look at recalibrated sediments?

315. A REVISED CHRONOLOGY FOR THE ANCIENT NEAR EAST [Journals] [SIS Review]
... has laid at the roots of the basic assumptions behind ancient Near Eastern history, should serve to exorcise the dangerous complacency that has spread like a pall over many fields of ancient history. The need for a concentrated and radical reappraisal of the chronology of Egypt and the Near East has become all the more urgent as the comparatively new technique of radiocarbon dating, with the other methods dependent on it, was tested at the outset on Egyptian remains, which were assumed by the physicists to be accurately dated by the Egyptologists (26). Yet, despite this urgency, Velikovsky's salient criticisms of the conventional chronology have met with little positive response from archaeologists and historians, who are reluctant ...

... that the name Israel went back to mid 18th Dynasty times. If that is correct it would of course disprove the orthodox 19th Dynasty date for the Exodus. Keenan's theory of old' carbon from the sea affecting C14 dates in the East Mediterranean area (C &CR 1999:2 pp. 32&35) has made it into Radiocarbon 44 (2002): Why Early-Historical Radiocarbon Dates Downwind from the Mediterranean are too Early' (pp. 225-237). Keenan has also stepped into the debate over whether or not ash particles in Greenland ice cores, at an ice core date of c. 1645BC, are proven to be from Thera (C &CR 2002: ...

... previous occasions: the Assyrian King lists present the biggest problems for his revision. However, he is not an Assyriologist and has no intention of spending the next 20 years becoming one. He is leaving that to others to resolve. A member of the audience cited his personal experience when he sought to have a paper on the inaccuracies of radiocarbon dating published in that bastion of the establishment, Antiquity. After being turned down, he persisted and managed to obtain the two referees' reports. One said there was no evidence to say that radiocarbon dating was wrong, so he had not bothered to read the paper. The other obviously read as far as page 1, where ...

... , Antarctic summer sea ice was about ten times as extensive as at present, covering an area even greater than winter sea ice today. They date a rapid change to ice-free conditions to about 14,000 years ago. [78] There was also more land ice at the time. From a study of sediment cores and 26 associated radiocarbon dates in the western Ross Sea, Kathy Licht et al. estimate that, approximately 20,000 years ago, the grounding line of the Ross ice shelf was about 250 kilometers north of its present position near Ross Island, to which it had retreated by at least 6500 radiocarbon years ago. [79] Far from being ice-free ...

320. The Nature of the Historical Record [Journals] [SIS Review]
... a good deal to say about another, equally imaginary "dark age" in Hittite archaeology, but the above should demonstrate at least a prima facie case for a chronological revision. Moreover, I would expect the number of examples to increase as further evidence comes to light. I shall close with a brief word on absolute dating methods. Radiocarbon and astronomical dating methods will be dealt with later today by experts in their respective fields. I shall therefore confine my remarks to the observation that, if reliable methods of absolute dating existed and received general acceptance, it would save many people much time, effort, argument and even anguish. Unfortunately they do not. I do not ...
