ABSTRACT

This article reviews a set of radiocarbon dates for the Middle Bronze strata at Tel Nami, Israel. Employing a Bayesian analysis based on the stratigraphy of the site, I conclude that the results generally coincide with the high radiocarbon chronology for the Middle Bronze Age southern Levant. This result is supported by radiocarbon sequences from Tell el-Dabʿa (Egypt) and Tel Ifshar (Israel) and has significant historical implications for the dating of scarab seals previously attributed to the late Middle Kingdom, and for the earliest contacts between Egypt, the Levant and Cyprus during the Middle Bronze Age.

Tel Nami、塞浦路斯和埃及：放射性碳年代和早期青铜时代中期

摘要

本文回顾了以色列 Tel Nami 中青铜地层的一组放射性碳年代。采用基于场地地层学的贝叶斯分析，我得出结论，结果通常与中世纪青铜时代南部黎凡特的高放射性碳年表一致。这一结果得到了来自 Tell el-Dabʿa（埃及）和 Tel Ifshar（以色列）的放射性碳序列的支持，并且对先前归因于中王国晚期的圣甲虫海豹的年代测定以及埃及与黎凡特之间的最早接触具有重要的历史意义和青铜时代中期的塞浦路斯。
