Extract

Renfrew has rightly remarked that in Anatolian Early Bronze Age chronology “the basic problem is to decide how to correlate the Trojan early bronze age periods … with the sequence of Tarsus”. It is largely to this problem that the following article is addressed.

Professor Mellink has argued that Troy I is contemporary with Tarsus EBII on the grounds that Troy II and Tarsus EBIII appear to her to be contemporary. Since she places the start of Tarsus EBI at c. 3000 B.C. this scheme places the beginning of Troy I considerably after that date, perhaps at c. 2700 B.C. Mellaart, by contrast, disputes the equation between Troy I and Tarsus EBII and argued at first that Tarsus EBIIIa must begin later than the beginning of Troy II, envisaging a period of overlap. He has subsequently suggested that it actually follows the end of Troy II. According to this correlation Troy I would be contemporary with Tarsus EBI, and not Tarsus EBII.

24 Average date 4250 b.p.; latest date (seed) Bln-429: 4130±100 b.p.

25 Earliest date (charcoal) Bln-424: 4575±80 b.p.; seed date Bln-524: 4460±100 b.p. The difference between these two is ironed out by the Suess calibration curve.

26 Average date 4435 b.p. But as this falls in a more complex area on the calibration curve, it could also be as early as 3220 B.C. It is possible that the seed date, Bln-524, provides the most accurate date for level I.7.

27 Bln-425, from the Karanovo VI deposits of Ezero, 5580±80 b.p. may perhaps yield a calibrated date of c. 4440 B.C. See also the table of C-14 dates in Renfrew, C., “Sitagroi, radiocarbon and the prehistory of south-east Europe”, Antiquity XLV (1971), p. 282Google Scholar.

The later date P-1653 (3624±55 b.p., c. 2120 B.C.) is clearly too young when viewed in the light of other dates from Complex II.

84 Our revised stratigraphy for Troy I suggests that there is not such a great disparity between the depths of deposit in Troy I and Tarsus EBI as Mellink, notes (Anatolian Chronology, p. 116Google Scholar). The Troy I deposits at the centre of the mound must be at least 5½ metres deep.

85 At Tell Judaidah, Amuq G can now be dated to c. 3670–3560 B.C., when P-1473 is calibrated. Radiocarbon 15 (1973), p. 374Google Scholar. The dates from Arslantepe provide further confirmation that the transition from Amuq F and Uruk to Amuq G and Jemdet Nasr falls in the period c. 3600–3400 B.C. Origini VII (1973), p. 179Google Scholar. Predynastic radiocarbon dates for Egypt are still unclear. C-813 may provide the date closest to the beginnings of the Late Predynastic period, calibrated c. 3650–3550 B.C., but ±310. Derricourt, op. cit., pp. 279, 289 and fig. 2.

86 P-321, P-312, P-318, P-319. Radiocarbon 4 (1962), p. 149 fGoogle Scholar. When calibrated the dates are:— P-321, 2480±68; P-312, 2350±72 (or could be as low as 2200±72); P-318, 2500±72 (or could be as high as 2720±72); P-319, 2490±66.

87 P-320.

88 P-300 (charcoal), 3870±61 b.p. has a very wide range on the calibration curve, from 2460 to 2200 B.C. P-299 (charcoal), 3750±97 b.p. appears to be easily calibrated to 2150±97 B.C. But in fact there are two other tree-ring dates in this region b.p. which have been left completely off the (hand-drawn) calibration curve, and which yield B.C. dates in the region 2350–2450 B.C. It may be that the previously cited date, P-320 gives the clue to the correct calibration of these two dates (P-300, P-299). Meanwhile it may be noted that MASCA calibration, based on the 5730 half-life, converts P-300 to 2436±61 B.C., and P-299 to 2313±97 B.C. MASCA calibration is calculated from the tables provided in Elizabeth Ralph, K., “Carbon-14 Dating”, in Dating Techniques for the Archaeologist, ed. Michael, H. N. and Ralph, E.K., 1971Google Scholar.

89 P-303A, uncorrected 3750±112 b.p. The uncorrected b.p. date is therefore the same as for the early EHIII date P-299 (see previous footnote). An identical absolute date, however, is clearly impossible so the Suess curve, as drawn, may be applicable in this case.

90 Assuming that MHI is contemporary with MMI. There are Dynasty XII scarabs in MMIa at Lebena (Weinberg, op. cit., p. 308) and possible MMIIa parallels from the reign of Amenemhet II (Kantor, Helene J., “The Relative Chronology of Egypt and its Foreign Correlations before the Late Bronze Age”, in Chronologies in Old World Archaeology, ed. Ehrich, E. W., (1965), pp. 19–22Google Scholar).

91 Dates for Sesostris II (BM-238, BM-280, Radiocarbon 11 (1969), p. 282 f.Google Scholar; UCLA-1212, Radiocarbon 9 (1967), p. 491Google Scholar) produce uncalibrated average of c. 3543 b.p. Corrected, this gives c. 2060 B.C. Add 94 years for previous Kings, thus c. 2154 B.C. for beginning of Dynasty XII. This is confirmed by the early-looking date P-11, 3710±98 b.p. (Radiocarbon 1 (1959), p. 47Google Scholar) which can be calibrated to 2150±98 B.C. The earliest Dyn. XII date is A-220 (Radiocarbon 4 (1962), p. 248Google Scholar), 3840±150 b.p. Even this, when corrected, may come out to only 2220±150 B.C.–but note both the huge deviation and the wide range on the Suess curve for this date. For the full list of C-14 dates see Derricourt, R. M. in JNES 30 (1971), p. 280 fGoogle Scholar.

92 It should be noted that MASCA calibration would put the Lerna MHI date (P-303A) even higher, to 2313±112 B.C.

97 Troy III, p. 19Google Scholar.

98 Dated by first imports of LHI (Troy III, 19Google Scholar). LHI is in turn dated by its close affinities with LMI; LMI is dated by finds in the tomb of Queen Ahhetpe at Thebes. (Cf. Matz, F., “The Zenith of Minoan Civilization”, CAH3 II.1 (1973), ch. xii, p. 558Google Scholar). For once, historical dates and C-14 dates seem to agree closely, since the earliest C-14 date for the New Kingdom in Egypt is R-33, 3300±40 b.p. (Radiocarbon 7 (1965), p. 219Google Scholar) which, when calibrated on the more recent Suess chart, actually reads 1570±40 B.C. if one of the b.p. dates not on the curve is used. Using the curve itself the date stands at 1650±40 B.C.
