... at all. This non-correlation is also observed at Byrd Station; see Herron, Langway, and Brugger, op. cit., page 29: "In the Byrd Station ice core the bubbles disappear very near the climatic boundary, at the same depth that the ice undergoes a significant textural change. In the Camp Century ice core the stratigraphic log indicates that air bubbles disappear between 1100 and 1165 meters, which is also near the climatic transition..." As we have seen, this does correspond to what we took to be the bottom of the Camp Century fracture zone at about 1150 meters. Both in the Dye 3 core and in the Byrd Station core, ...
72. Recent Developments In Near Eastern Archaeology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... of these sites in 1997. Generally the New Chronology (NC) has not made drastic changes to historical sequences. Rather it has been a case of shortening dark ages, small shortenings here and there and, in one case, parallel dynasties. For Mesopotamia an actual reversal of dynasties is required and there does not seem to be any stratigraphical or other evidence to prevent this. The reversal concerns the relationship between the Middle Assyrian (MA) and Mittanian periods. On OC the Mittanian period precedes the MA period with the last major Mittanian king, Tushratta, being defeated by Assuruballit I of Assyria and Suppiluliumas I of Hatti. Fairly soon after Assuruballit comes the main MA period ...
73. Catastrophism and Evolution [Articles]
... rather it speaks of abrupt changes of environment, of extinctions and/or repopulations with new species (16). The history of the Earth has been divided into eras, these subdivided into periods and further into epochs, each characterised by its unique flora and fauna, as judged by the fossil record. It was subsequently to emerge that stratigraphic characteristics were not absolutely identical in every part of the world. Nevertheless the early investigations in Europe revealed clear-cut boundaries between the layers of rock used as the basis for classification. Furthermore, the strata themselves were found not to lie flat, one above the other, but to show unmistakable signs of compression and shear, collapse and uplift ...
74. The Catastrophic Finale of the Middle Bronze Age [Books] [de Grazia books]
... of these great crises. We put ourselves here expressly en garde against a generalization of the seismological explanation." 5. Long-enduring hiatuses or lapses followed the destruction, as after 1700 B.C .: "In all the sites examined up to now in Western Asia, a hiatus or period of extreme poverty causes a rupture of the stratigraphic or chronological sequence of the layers around 1700 B.C ., and revival began only around 1550 B.C ., 150 years later." John J. Bimson, reviewing "the Conquest of Canaan" in the time of Joshua, finds in the records of excavation half a dozen destroyed settlements beyond those reported by Schaeffer ...

... concurrently, an extensive - and shrinking - ring system around the major planets. If elaborate ring systems existed and degenerated in historic times - a highly speculative supposition- they would form part of the panorama described in ancient records. Prof Lars G. Franzén, University of Göteborg Prof Thomas B. Larsson, University of Umea Landscape Analysis, Stratigraphical And Geochemical Investigations of Playa And Alluvial Fan Sediments In Tunisia And Raised Bog Deposits In Sweden: A Possible Correlation Between Extreme Climate Events And Cosmic Activity During The Late Holocene.Geomorphological signatures, and plays and alluvial fan deposits, all point at a severe flooding catastrophe in central Tunisia c. 1000 B.C . Precipitation must have ...
76. Reassessing the Date of the Arabah Copper Mines [Articles]
... on the surface, not in any context with anything else. Only the ware called the Early Iron Age ware is the only ware from the Arabah which has datable parallels at other sites. When it was found by the Arabah surveys, it was seized upon as providing a date for the other two types which occurred with it in a stratigraphical context. In 1962, Johanaan Aharoni who was the main advisor to the Arabah expedition on stratigraphy, expressed the opinion that it was very unlikely that any of the Arabah pottery could be dated later than the 10th century BC. Glueck had said, it was 10th century to 6th century. Aharoni is saying, it may be 10th ...
77. The Israelite Conquest of Canaan [Journals] [Aeon]
... . Megiddo in particular presents the most outstanding example and may, indeed, be called the "queen of all stratigraphies." These sites have strata dated on the basis of their link with Amarna; by bringing them from the 14th to the 7th century B.C .E ., everything else falls into line. Despite the impressive stratigraphic completeness of Megiddo and its sister sites, however, historians and archaeologists dealing with them have always suffered from the lack of credible strata for the Israelite period between -930 and -730/ -720. What had to be assigned to these centuries, e.g ., exhibited Aeolic capitals which even in their areas of origin only appear ...
78. The History Of The Revisionist Debate: A Personal View [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... he believed was a "ghost" of the 19th. Now the second factor came into play. Not only had Velikovsky held his hand for 25 years, but when he published, his later volumes failed to convince many of his own supporters! A major reason for this was that Velikovsky himself did not appear to understand the principles of stratigraphical archaeology. As John Bimson cogently argued, no revised chronology could be convincingly established without a "revised stratigraphy" to underpin it. Here, too, Courville proved the pioneer. However, within the Velikovskian journals, this issue only began to be seriously attacked in the late 1970's. Personal conflicts also played a major role. Like ...
79. Focus [Journals] [SIS Review]
... but also in the use made of it: "Because the record is so threadbare in places, there is a temptation to over-interpret... This may lead to unwarranted conclusions being reached." The paper drew a number of illuminating parallels from more recent history, and concluded that the most trustworthy evidence is generally that derived from the stratigraphical record, which can establish not only sequences within a particular site but also the contemporaneity of levels of occupation (strata) at different sites. The implications for Velikovsky's chronology were that, although much of the documentary evidence adduced by Dr Velikovsky seemed open to more than one interpretation, the stratigraphical record in Palestine, Syria, Anatolia and ...
80. A Criticism of the Revised Chronology [Journals] [Pensee]
... The appearance of this Mitannian Ware is associated with a great increase in the number of personal names in the Hurrian language at Alalakh and in northern Mesopotamia (19). The introduction of Mitannian Ware and the influx of great numbers of Hurrians into Mesopotamia and Syria-Palestine can therefore be correlated with the beginning of the Palestinian Late Bronze Age, and stratigraphical evidence from numerous sites makes it certain that this phase is far earlier than the Iron Age II (which has already been shown to correlate with the divided monarchy and the Assyrian Empire of the eighth seventh centuries B.C . Egyptian documents begin using certain Hurrian and Indo-Aryan terms connected with chariot warfare for the first time early in the ...
