Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The article discusses the relative order of Iron I and Iron IIA pottery assemblages in three regions: the highlands, the northern valleys and the south (the Beer-sheba Valley and the Shephelah). The authors deploy 14C determinations for four Iron Age destruction layers - Shiloh V, Megiddo VIA, Rehov V and Rehov IV - in order to anchor the relative sequences into an absolute dating system. They then use the results to adjust previous assumptions regarding the sites and layers that Pharaoh Shoshenq I faced in the second half of the 10th century.
