The Minoan Thera eruption predates Pharaoh Ahmose: Radiocarbon dating of Egyptian 17th to early 18th Dynasty museum objects
The huge volcanic eruption at Thera (Santorini), situated in the Aegean Sea, occurred within the Late Minoan IA archaeological period. However, its temporal association with Egyptian history has long…

Research on the farm. continues, we have completed the Pollen Project and are now planning to use Optical Stimulation Luminescence to date some of the earthwork features such as lynchets and ridge & furrow to see if we can trace the growth of the field system here in the Middle Ages (600-1500 CE).
