14C Dating of an Israelite Biblical Site at Kuntillet Ajrud (Horvat Teman)
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 18 July 2016
Abstract
The Israelite site of Kuntillet Ajrud in northern Sinai contains unique drawings and inscriptions in ancient Hebrew and Phoenician. It is a single-phase site dated archaeologically to ca. 800 bce. We considered this site a good test case for comparing archaeological with 14C datings. The dates are in agreement, confirming that 14C dating is useful in dating Iron-Age II sites.
