    Abstract

    Stratified radiocarbon dates provide a scientific chronological framework independent of cultural assessments. In both Groningen 14C labs (conventional and Accelerator Mass Spectrometry [AMS]), a total of 64 radiocarbon dates were measured from Tel Reh?ov, derived from 21 Iron Age loci. This is the largest Iron Age series available at present for any site in the Near East. We present, evaluate, and discuss in this article our methodology in terms of quality assurance, reliability and reproducibility.
