Archaeology and Historical Studies

The chronology of the Middle Bronze, Late Bronze, and early Iron Ages in Syria-Palestine is in a state of flux, as a result of recently discovered archaeological and textual data. This article reconsiders a number of fundamental issues, both in relative and absolute chronologies, for the second millennium B. C. E. The emphasis is on critical analysis of data, comparative Levantine context, and current scholarship, rather than on definitive solutions of the problems.
