在分层考古背景下进行一系列可靠的高精度放射性碳测年对于跨学科年代学和历史研究具有重要意义。近东早期青铜时代的特点是埃及和美索不达米亚伟大文明的开始，以及黎凡特的城市化。我们提供了 Tell es-Sultan（杰里科）的短暂物质的分层高精度日期，涵盖了来自海沟 III 的晚期原始城市/EB I、EB II 和 EB III 层。我们的校准日期，通过涉及吉布斯抽样的贝叶斯序列分析进行了细化，大约为。比传统考古年龄评估早 150-300 岁。在 14C 测年法发现后的最初几十年内测量的 14C 测年资料不应被太认真对待。大英博物馆 14C 实验室于 1971 年测量的杰里科 14C 日期似乎是错误的。
Reliable series of high-precision radiocarbon dates in a stratified archaeological context are of great importance for interdisciplinary chronological and historical studies. The Early Bronze Age in the Near East is characterized by the beginning of the great civilizations in Egypt and Mesopotamia, as well as by urbanization in the Levant. We present stratified high-precision dates of short-lived material of Tell es-Sultan (Jericho), covering Late Proto-Urban/EB I, EB II and EB III layers from Trench III. Our calibrated dates, refined by Bayesian sequence analysis involving Gibbs sampling, are ca. 150–300 yr older than conventional archaeological age assessments. The corpus of 14C dates measured in the first decades after the discovery of 14C dating should not be taken too seriously. The 14C dates of Jericho measured by the British Museum 14C laboratory in 1971 appear to be erroneous.
