New radiocarbon dating initiatives have cast doubts on some long-held synchronisms and especially on the dating of the key-site of Tell el-Dab\u02bfa (ancient Avaris) in the eastern Nile Delta. The excavator\u2019s dating of this site was used to argue for the New (ultra-low) or Mebert Chronology of Mesopotamia, but recent radiocarbon data from Tell el-Dab\u02bfa, the southern Levant, and Anatolia challenge the low Middle Bronze Age chronology for the Levant and endorse the Middle Chronology for Mesopotamia, as we demonstrate in what follows. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.journals.uchicago.edu\/doi\/full\/10.1086\/718498\">Read full article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Synchronized Early Middle Bronze Age Chronology for Egypt, the Levant, and Mesopotamia Felix H\u00f6flmayer and Sturt Manning, Journal of Near Eastern Studies, Vol. 81, No. 1, 2022.
