Radiocarbon dating is one of the key discoveries of the twentieth century. Archaeologists have recently begun to employ high precision radiocarbon dating to explore the chronology of the Iron Age in the Levant. Biblical archaeology - revolutionized by radiocarbon dating and statistical modelling - is leading the way in which archaeologists approach material culture. The Bible and Radiocarbon Dating brings together a leading team of archaeologists, Egyptologists, Biblical scholars and radiocarbon dating specialists to examine the interface between archaeology, science-based research methods and the Bible. The book examines the dating of sites across the East Mediterranean, Jordon and Israel to test hypotheses concerning the historicity of the Old Testament.
"Draws together a number of influential scholars to discuss the results of recent applications of radiocarbon dating to Iron Age archaeology in the southern Levant. Its three main sections examine new results for Iron Age chronology in Jordan, Israel and the East Mediterranean in general. The importance of these sequences of absolute dates provided by these studies cannot be underestimated.'"
