TLDR
The Levantine Iron Age anomaly (LEA) as mentioned in this paper is a local positive anomaly that occurred between the 10th and the 8th centuries BCE, and was first reported in the early 1990s.

Archaeointensity results spanning the past 6 kiloyears from eastern China and implications for extreme behaviors of the geomagnetic field.

TL;DR: The results, in conjunction with recently published data, confirm the existence of a decrease in paleointensity (DIP) in China around ∼2200 BCE and report a spike intensity of 165.8 ± 6.0 ZAm2 at ∼1300 BCE, either a prelude to or the same event as spikes first reported in the Levant.

Six centuries of geomagnetic intensity variations recorded by royal Judean stamped jar handles.

TL;DR: This study provides substantial data on variations in geomagnetic field intensity during the eighth to second centuries BCE Levant, thus significantly improving the existing record for this region and providing further evidence of extremely strong field in the late eighth century BCE (“geomagnetic spike”), and of rapid rates of change.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fluctuating radiocarbon offsets observed in the southern Levant and implications for archaeological chronology debates.

TL;DR: There is a substantive and fluctuating offset in measured radiocarbon ages between plant material growing in the southern Levant versus the standard Northern Hemisphere radiOCarbon calibration dataset derived from trees growing in central and northern Europe and North America.

Dispersion on a Sphere

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a form of theory which appears to be appropriate to measurements of position on a sphere and demonstrated the simultaneous distribution of the amplitude and direction of the vector sum of a number of random unit vectors of given precision.

The least-squares line and plane and the analysis of palaeomagnetic data

TL;DR: In this paper, principal component analysis is used to find and estimate the directions of lines and planes of best least squares fit along the demagnetization path of a palaeomagnetic specimen.

Mid- to Late Holocene climate change: an overview

TL;DR: The authors used selected proxy-based reconstructions of different climate variables, together with state-of-the-art time series of natural forcings (orbital variations, solar activity variations, large tropical volcanic eruptions, land cover and greenhouse gases), underpinned by results from GCMs and Earth System Models of Intermediate Complexity (EMICs), to establish a comprehensive explanatory framework for climate changes from the mid-Holocene (MH) to pre-industrial time.

International Geomagnetic Reference Field: the 12th generation

TL;DR: The 12th generation of the International Geomagnetic Reference Field (IGRF) was adopted in December 2014 by the Working Group V-MOD appointed by the International Association of Geomagnetism and Aeronomy (IAGA) as discussed by the authors.

Four centuries of geomagnetic secular variation from historical records

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a new model of the magnetic › eld at the core{mantle boundary for the interval 1590{1990] to 1990, called gufm1, which is based on a massive new compilation of historical observations.
