The Northwest Belgian bronze age barrow in context: a review of the 14C chronology from the late neolithic to bronze age Universiteit Gent
The late bronze age collapse and the early iron age in the levant: the role of climate in cultural disruption Universiteit Gent
Old bones, new ideas: 14C-dating of cremated bones from late bronze age and early iron age urnfield cemeteries in Flanders Universiteit Gent
Recently a method has been developed and tested to date cremated bones using bio apatite. By using the cremated bones the human element is properly dated. From some cremations charcoal dates were also obtained to confirm the validity of the 14C-dates on bone. The traditional chronological framework for this period in Western Belgium was based on the study of the funerary pottery alone, since metalwork was scarce in the cemeteries. The ...
Lead isotopic analysis within a multiproxy approach to trace pottery sources. The example of White Slip II sherds from Late Bronze Age sites in Cyprus and Syria Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Lead isotope analyses were carried out on fragments of White Slip II ware, a Late Bronze Age Cypriote pottery ware, and on raw materials possibly used for their production. Sherds originate from three Late Bronze Age sites (Hala Sultan Tekke and Sanidha in Cyprus and Minet el-Beida in Syria) and clays come from the surroundings of Sanidha, a production site for White Slip ware. X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and a Principal Component Analysis (PCA) ...
T.1 MLA 1173, An Extra Urban Tomb of the Late Bronze Age Site near Hala Sultan Tekke Vrije Universiteit Brussel
In the autumn of 1983, T.1-MLA 1173 was found accidentally during the construction of the asphalt road near the mosque of Hala Sultan Tekke. Although the tomb had suffered looting and destruction, the recovered contents indicate that it once was very rich. The assemblage includes ceramics (an estimated minimum of 344 vessels), gold jewellery (among which two pendants representing the Egyptian goddess Tawaret), terracotta figurines, a cylinder ...
Considering Ceramic Variability on Late Bronze Age Cyprus. A Case-study: the Plain Vessels of Alassa Pano Mandilaris Vrije Universiteit Brussel
This paper aims to highlight ceramic variability
observed at the LC IIC-LC IIIA site of Alassa Pano-
Mandilaris. A special focus is on the plain ware vessels
as they are the largest group of ceramics recovered at
the site. Given that the subject of the paper is based
on an ongoing project it was not possible to fit this
evidence in a broader framework of regionalism, for
example by examining material from ...

300-year drought frames Late Bronze Age to Early Iron Age transition in the Near East: new palaeoecological data from Cyprus and Syria KU Leuven Universiteit Gent
Cyprus and Ugarit at the end of the Late Bronze Age : insights from Pyla-Kokkinokremos Universiteit Gent
Cyprus and the northern Levant with the kingdom of Ugarit were affected by drastic socio-cultural changes shortly after 1200 BCE, the causes and effects of which remain discussed. This paper summarizes some of the most recent research, taking both historical and archaeological sources into consideration. Within this supra-regional analysis, special attention is given to the settlement of Pyla-Kokkinokremoson the island of Cyprus. The site, ...
Late Bronze Age Cornelian and Red Jasper Scarabs with cross designs: Egyptian, Levantine or Minoan? Universiteit Gent
This contribution reassesses the date and origin of a particular group of cornelian and red jasper scarabs, displaying line designs such as crosses and stars on their bases. The numbers that surfaced in the southern Levant and the Aegean have led scholars to attribute them to Ramesside Egyptian, Late Bronze Age IIB/III Palestinian, or even Middle Minoan II workshops. An assessment of the Egyptian finds, however, remained wanting. This article ...
