TL;DR: The authors presented a Bayesian chronological model for seven ceramic typology phases and 10 stratigraphic horizons at Megiddo, covering the Late Bronze and much of the Iron Age.

TL;DR: It is found that Levant-related modern populations typically have substantial ancestry coming from populations related to the Chalcolithic Zagros and the Bronze Age Southern Levant, highlighting the critical role of post-Bronze-Age migrations into the region over the past 3,000 years.

TL;DR: The authors analyzed microremains and proteins preserved in the dental calculus of individuals who lived during the second millennium BCE in the Southern Levant in order to shed light on the transformation of Eastern Mediterranean cuisines during the Bronze Age and Early Iron Age.

TL;DR: In this paper, the results of a petrographic investigation of pottery from early Iron IIA settlements in the Negev Highlands were reported, showing that a substantial percentage of the vessels studied, most notably slag-tempered ware, originated in the copper districts of the Wadi Arabah.

TL;DR: The authors showed that metalworking was practiced continuously in the southeastern sector of the tell from the end of the Middle Bronze Age until Iron IIB, concurrent with cultural and political changes, expressed, inter alia, in the architectural layout of the city and its cultic practices.
