In the June 2016 issue of Near Eastern Archaeology, Michele D. Stillinger, James W. Hardin, Joshua M. Feinberg, and Jeffrey A. Blakely published a paper entitled "Archaeomagnetism as a Complementary Dating Technique to Address the Iron Age Chronology Debate in the Levant" (Stillinger et al. 2016). The article addresses a key issue in the Iron Age chronology debate, namely, long date ranges of calibrated radiocarbon determinations caused by the considerably flat shape of the calibration curve in the tenth century b.c.e. (fig. 1). As a result, radiocarbon dating frequently does not provide the precision desired by archaeologists for answering chronological questions, such as the Iron Age I-IIA transition. Distinguishing between an early or late tenth-century b.c.e. date based on single calibrated radiocarbon determinations is close to impossible without the aid of Bayesian analysis (fig. 2).
