dc.description.abstractThe sequence of temples at Tabaqat Fahil (Pella) is among the largest and best-preserved in the southern Levant. Its six phases of architecture – exposed in recent decades by the University of Sydney – exemplify the longevity of sacred precincts and documents how temple designs and cult practices developed over time. Pella offers a unique chance to investigate these structures with up-to-date approaches and techniques, since many parallel examples were exposed in the early–mid-20th century (e.g. Megiddo, Shechem and Beth Shean). Pella’s six consecutive temple phases are particularly well-suited to AMS radiocarbon-based dating with a Bayesian approach. Samples for 14C dating were collected throughout the seasons of excavation, and a substantial dataset developed in collaboration with ANSTO and other partner institutions. This paper will present an analysis of the presently available data, comparing the results of a 14C-based chronology with the traditional dating of each phase, and exploring implications for wider chronological issues.en_AU
