Dendrochronological Dating in Anatolia:
The Second Millennium BC
In contrast fo the sketchy summary of dendrochronologi-
cal information for the third and earlier milennia presented
at the previous Bochum meeting (for a listing of sites and
disconnected wiggle-matched dates see Kunihoim 1996),
we report here a complete, robust, and continuous tree~
ring chronology for the second millennium BC +4/-7 years
(Kromer et al. 2001; Manning etal. 2001). The error margin
may actually be slightly lower (see Manning et al. 2003),
and see now Figures 1 and 2. Al BC dates published here
supersede those reported in earlier years. The relative
dates remain the same.

Master Chronology as of AD 2003, shown in terms of the
20-year moving average of the percent variation in ring
Widths around normal (defined as 100) from all constituent
data by year (the ‘Index Values’ ~ grey line). The number
of securely cross-dated samples, an average of 32 trees
peer year, which comprise this chronology is shown by the
black line. The calendar date scale shown is the near-ab-
solute dating proposed in Manning et al. (2001). For the
specific trees from this chronology employed in the '*C
\wiggle-match dating, see Figure 2. Although sample num-
bers are not especialy large in the mid-16" century BC,
we note that for the “C wiggle-match we employed a long-
lived tree, GOR-161 with 861 tree-rings, which grew from
the 18-10" centuries BC, It is securely cross-dated on
the earty end against dozens of juniper trees from Porsuk
(Kunihoim etal. 1992 and on-going work since), and then
against, progressively, dozens, scores, and finally over
4100 trees from Gordion and environs. In addition to the
data summarised above, newly developed uniper and pine

we lack a continuous chronology through the ADIBC transi
tion to alow us to assign absolute yeas, tis ating chrono-
logy was pinned down by 68 C dates by Berd Kromer at
Heidelberg as par of Sturt Manning's Eastem Mediterranean
Radiocarbon Calibration Project (EMRCP).
preliminary attempt to place the tree-ring chronology se-
‘cure in time on the basis of some 22 determinations was
reported in Nature seven years ago (Kuniholm et al. 1996).
Since then Maryanne Newton caught the steep downturn
in the radiocarbon graph in the 8th century BC, getting us
away from the relatively flat radiocarbon plateau of the
centuries preceding the mid-8" century BC. Moreover,
the discovery of a radiocarbon offset in the 9¥78" cen-
turies BC, an apparent period of global cooling rather like
the Little Ioe Age in the 15" and 16° centuries AD, was
reported on in the December 21st, 2001 issue of Science
(Kromer et al. 2004; Manning et al. 2001; Reimer 2001)
and demonstrated the need for an upward shift of some
22 years from the placement we had offered five years
eatlier. Accordingly, all the construction dates from the
Middle and Late Bronze Ages and Eary Iron Age that we
have been quoting over the years have to be raised by
22 years (+4/-7).
‘As a further test of this new placement, Bernd Kromer
tried to catch the 1325 BC blip in the radiocarbon curve
with six small segments ofthe Gordion wood, and as may
be seen in the dotted circle in Figure 2 (Manning et al
2003) he has done so successfully. We cannot offer a
{quantification yet of what this might mean for a modified
precision range. For the time being we are holding to +4/-
7 years, but the error may be somewhat lower."
Figure
High-precision radiocarbon data, including six new data
(Hd-21711, 21712, 21721, 21722, 21761, 21774) centered
around the 1325 BC ‘wiggle’ in the radiocarbon calibra-
tion curve, from 1O-ring samples of the Aegean Den-
drochronology Project Bronze-Iron tree-ring series (Figure
1). The data are shown at thelr best-fit placement against
the current (AD2002) internationally recommended INT-
CAL9B radiocarbon calibration data set (Stuiver et al
1998). Samples were taken from three of the constituent
trees of the well-eplicated Gordion-area dendrochrono-
logy forming one of the ADP's longest floating sequences
for the prehistoric Mediterranean and Near East. All ra-
diocarbon measurements were made at the Heidelberg
radiocarbon laboratory (see Kromer et al. 2001; Manning
et al. 2001 for details). All data shown with 1®'errors. (Fi-
‘gure courtesy 8. W. Manning, See Manning et al. 2003

Lacking a bridge through Roman times to ving trees of
the present, this Is as close to precision as we could se-
riously hope for (in fact, it is rather better). An error mar-

gin of +4/-7 years is not all that bad for three to four thou-
sand years ago.
The reader will have noted four or five big peaks or bumps
in Figure 1 on the histogram (dark line) of sample tre-
quency, followed by a steep drop on the right-hand side
of the bump, indicating major building activity atthe sites
from which these samples were collected. Let us look at
them from right to left, or from late to early, to see what
they might mean,
Bump 1 (ca. 673 BC) - Ayanis
“The Haldi-Temple of Urartian King Rusa II was builtin 673,
+4/-7 cal BC, rather early in Rusa’s reign which might ox-
plain the lack of significant accomplishments with which
he usually embellshes his inscriptions (and which at the
time of excavation puzzled the epigraphers). There is no
evidence of earlier or later construction at the site, so Aya-
nis seems to have been a one-period affair. See Ci
iroglu & Salvini (2001) and contribution by Kuniholm &
Newton (200; 2002) therein for extended discussion.
Note that the publication of this book preceded the dis-
covery of our need to raise the date (Kuniholm & Newton
forthcoming).
Bump 2 (ca. 740 BC) - Gor
‘The so-called MM Tumulus at Gordion, built around 740,
+4/-7 cal BC, 22 years earlier than we reported in 1996
in Nature, is therefore not the tomb of the quasi-historical
‘Midas who flourished and died around 700 BC but rather
the tomb of someone a generation or two earlier. This find-
ing has helped force a re-examination of the entire Gor-
nDendrochronological Dating in Anatolia: The Second Millennium BC
dion City Mound stratigraphic sequence. The June 2003
Antiquity (De Vries etal. 2003) has the latest restatement
of the implications of this date for Gordion and Iron Age
Anatolia. What had been thought at Gordion forthe last
50 years to be the Kimmerian destruction level ofthe ear-
ly 7™ century BC we now realize is an otherwise-undocu-
‘mented early Iron Age destruction of the late 9"century
BC. The dendrachronological date of 883 forthe joists of
“Terrace Building 2A (but no bark visible and therefore pos-
sibly slightly later) is complemented by radiocarbon tests
Cf the thatch of the roof and of a variety of seeds found
in separate pots in the destruction debris (the latter all
Clustering between 830-800), also by ceramic links with
imported Greek pottery in the levels above the burned lay-
It there ever was @ Kimmerian attack on Gordion, it was
‘on the upper buildings above the clay which for years were
called the ‘Persian’ buildings and are now more property
termed Middle Phrygian. Early ron Age buildings at Gor:
don such as Megarons § and 6 are 10" century (speci
fically 940 and 944 +4/-7 cal BC), and so forth
Bump 3 (circa 1549 BC) - Porsuk
At this Hite site just north of the entrance to the Cilcian
Gates to the Taurus Mountains the timbers in the substrate
of the postem gate are much earlier than what has been
deemed to be 14°/13" century pottery found in the de>
struction debris above, The junipers, cedars, and pines
found under the floor of the poster gate on the west side
‘of the mound were all cut in 1849 +4\-7 cal BC. An inner
part of the gate was built 1 years eariier(Kuniholm et al.
11992; Pelon 1982)
‘An oddity at Porsuk is an enormous spike in growth at ca
11850 BC. The spike occurs in 61 out of 6! junipers, cedars,
and pines, ranging in age ftom 19 to 244 years, and re-
flects a spring/summer growing season that was extraor-
dinarily cool and moist. This Is the most remarkable such
anomaly in the last 9000 years, and we think itis a re-
action to the eruption of Thera/ Santorini some 820 kms
to the west.The spikes taper off a year or two or three
later, andthe trees resume their normal lives until they are
cut down. See Hammer (2003) for the latest statement
about the Greenland ice core evidence and possible link-
‘age with the Porsuk evidence.
Bump 4 (ca. 1774 BC) - Acemhéyiik:
Sarikaya Palace and Hatipler Tepe:
In these two Middle Bronze Age buildings, both of them
but in the same year, we have quantities of burned logs,
with the bark preserved. The last rings from timbers in
both buildings cluster at 1774 +4)-7 cal BC. That is the
construction date, Asinglerepairlogin the Sankaya Palace
has a rng preserved from 1766 44-7 cal BC with an un-
known number of rings burned of. So the building had at
least an eightyearIte-span before the fe. A full report
on these two important monuments has yee appear. For
prolimary reports see Oz9ig (1966; 1975),
[A third MBA building in the central part of the mound at
Acemnéyik was excavated and sampled by Prof. Allye
‘Oztan last summer, but the samples, sent to us the week
before the Bochum meeting in October 2002, have so far
turned out to be undatable.
Bump 5 (ca. 1832 BC) - Kiiltepe,
Wargama Saray!
The extra litle blip or bump one sees on the left of Figure
1s from the timbers in the Warsama Sarayt at Kultepe
(1999; and earlier dendrochronological comment by Ku-
riholm and Newton 1990), the construction date of which
is 1832 +4/-7 cal BC. Repair timbers, however, extending
down to at least 1771 (but with no bark preserved) show
thatthe palace had a life-span of at least 61 years before
the burning. For the most recent statement about the
Chronology of the Assyrian Colony Period and the length-
ening of the Karum II period, see Veenhof 2003, but note
that he employs the old dendrochronological dates from
the 1996 Nature report
Metallurgy and Dendrochronology
in the Second Millennium
‘The sites we showed the audience at Bochum in October
2002 were sampled and studied so that we could build a
tree-ring chronology. They were not necessarily selected
because they had metallurgical potential, although some
‘of them, such as Kaltepe, clearly do. tis one of our con-
tinved frustrations that the charcoal emerging from the
Karum, either levels Il or Ib, at Kiltepe is usually so bad-
ly and thoroughly burned that no dendrochronological
dating is possible. We keep visiting the Karum every sum-
‘mer, however, in the hope that suitable charcoal will some
day emerge,
But now the long master tree-ring chronology exists and
ata placement likely not very far from absolute. It should
be possible to plug in any site with well-preserved char-
coal, including sites from the millennia on either side of
the second, Just before the Bochum meeting we received
fan e-mail from Walter Gauss in Salzburg to the effect that
Inthe Aegina excavations in the 1970s considerable quan-
tities of charcoal were discovered in a Kupterschmelzofen
‘and sent to Austria for radiocarbon dating. They were then
put on a shelf and forgotten until Dr. Gauss rediscovered
them, So he has packed them and sent them to us, and
‘we will See what we can do to date the oven’

Minor Sites in or near the Second
Millennium
We use the term “minor” for sites which have few sam-
ples, or ones with difficult ring-sequences where not al of
the probloms have been worked out. Moreover, i is easy
to work with a site from which several hundred samples
have been collected. Sites which produce one, or two, oF
three samples, it not impossible, are dificult at best.
(One site which is not really minor nor a really a problem
Js Karahdyik bei Konya where the last existing ring is 1768
+4/-7 cal BC, at least eight years later than AcemhoyOk,
We wish only that more charcoal had been saved from
this extraordinary site (Alp 1991; 1992),
At least three pieces of wood (MAS-4,6,8) from Magat
Hoyik date from 1375 +4/-7 cal BC. This is particularly
interesting because of the existence of LHIIIA pottery
mixed in with the Hitite pots (Ozgug 1978).
Aso in central Anatolia we have a date of 1529 (withthe
bark present) for Building “C” at Kugakl, but an additional
piace recently collected has @ last ring (no bark) at 1523.
For an update on Kusakli see the most recent MOOG
(Miller Karpe etal, 2003, and Kuninolm & Newton therein).
‘The Hitte site of Ortakby/Sapinuwa is stil giving us prob-
lems, and we are holding back on reporting dates until we
{determine what is going on there, but the excavator, Prot.
‘Aygil Suel, has now reported major quantities of charcoal
collected in 2002 and we will retrieve them in the summer
‘of 2003.
Tile Héyok, currently submerged under the Euphrates,
has a last preserved ring in the gateway from 1123 +4/-7,
cal BC. Although the Tile wood is oak, we are confident
ofthe crossdate with the junipers and pines of the Bronze
Ageliron Age chronolagy (Kunihoim et al. 1983, but note
that these original 1990 calculations do not take into ac-
‘count the revised chronology)
‘Another site in Central Anatolia with longulived oak, Ka-
man-Kalenoylk Ild, has a last-preserved-ring in 884 BC
+4/-7 (Newton & Kuniholm 2001; annual excavation re-
ports summarized in Omura 2001).
Out east in Urartu, we have dates for Adilcevaz with its
last ring at 776 +4/-7 cal BC (but no bark), Yukari Anzaf
at 807 441-7 cal BC, and we have just been promised
‘wood from Karmir Blur next to Yerevan which ought to
ccrossdate with both these sites and Ayanis.
Down south at Kilisetepe, Nicholas Posigate has a last
preserved ring at 1408 +4/-7 cal BC, Another site from this
general region, the Kas/Uluburun shipwreck, Is having its
cedar sequence wiggle-matched at Heidelberg to confirm
or refute our original placement in the 14" century
46
In the west, in the Athenian Agora, are two juniper bed
legs excavated in the 1930s in a well that was sealed in
the 4" quarter of the 6" century BC (Shear 1940). The
last existing ring is 781 +4/-7 cal BC, We know that there
is crossdating across the Aegean, but the fit between
‘Athens and Gordion is so extraordinarily good, that one
wonders whether Midas in addition to sending his wood-
€en throne to Delphi, @ thing well worth looking at accor
ding to Herodotos, might have senta wooden bed to Athens,
100,
Finally, also in the west, specifically from Shaft Grave V
at Mycenae, there is a wooden bowl which was measured
years ago under less than optimum circumstances. It was.
‘measured after a long transatlantic airplane fight with the
measurements taken off the surface of the bow, and one,
would have to go back to the National Museum in Athens
In order to remeasure it. It is a single piece of wood, and
who knows how fong it had been around when it was:
placed in the grave. We have played down this piece for
some years as nothing more than a curiosity, but we are
happy with a last-preserved ring at 1602 +4/-7 cal BC.
‘The real answer to the Shaft Grave question isin the Na-
tional Museum where there isa joist from one ofthe graves.
wih an estimated 200 rings, saved by Schliemann and
cut off by his carpenter. Polishing and measuring that
‘would be much more satisfactory
