The Iron I-IIA in the Highlands and Beyond:14C Anchors, Pottery Phases and The Shoshenq I Campaign
Abstract
The article discusses the relative order of Iron I and Iron IIA pottery assemblages in three regions: the highlands, the northern valleys and the south (the Beer-sheba Valley and the Shephelah). The authors deploy 14C determinations for four Iron Age destruction layers – Shiloh V, Megiddo VIA, Rehov V and Rehov IV – in order to anchor the relative sequences into an absolute dating system. They then use the results to adjust previous assumptions regarding the sites and layers that Pharaoh Shoshenq I faced in the second half of the 10th century.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
