Journal ArticleDOI
Absolute Chronology of Megiddo, Israel, in the Late Bronze and Iron Ages: High-Resolution Radiocarbon Dating
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nucleation of aragonite upon carbonation of calcium oxide and calcium hydroxide at ambient temperatures and pressures: a new indicator of fire-related human activities
TL;DR: In this article, the pyrogenic aragonite was found to form at ambient temperatures and pressures upon carbonation of calcium oxide and calcium hydroxide together with calcite and its nucleation and growth are influenced by environmental parameters, such as carbon dioxide partial pressure, relative humidity and temperature.
Journal ArticleDOI
Towards an absolute chronology for the Aegean iron age: new radiocarbon dates from Lefkandi, Kalapodi and Corinth.

TL;DR: A new set of short-lived radiocarbon dates from the sites of Lefkandi, Kalapodi and Corinth in Greece focus on the crucial transition from the Submycenaean to the Protogeometric periods and place it in the second half of the 11th century BCE.
Journal ArticleDOI
FTIR-Based Crystallinity Assessment of Aragonite–Calcite Mixtures in Archaeological Lime Binders Altered by Diagenesis
TL;DR: Using Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR) with the KBr pellet method, it is possible to exploit these differences and assess the degree of atomic order of aragonite and calcite crystals and thus their mechanisms of formation as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of Contexts for Radiocarbon Dating: Results from the Early Iron Age at Tell es-Safi/Gath, Israel
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the preliminary results of an ongoing project that aims to characterize Iron Age archaeological contexts from the eastern Mediterranean, and to identify those contexts that are suitable for dating, in order to improve the accuracy of 14C dates.
