Step 1: Try to develop the different methods to the best capability, estimate the uncertainty, study methods to improve by combination

14C and the global knowledge of Megiddo startigraphycan be the base of synchronization / “calibration”

Q1: what can be done to improve the 14C dating of Megiddo ? Q2: should we also sample H3 for step 2?

Q3 :Lum: should we focus on ceramic?

Use the exact same vessel by a few method:a. What kind of ceramic would be the best?b. Special conditions needed/optimized?c. Pre/post selection criteria

Global

local

Use a sequence to constrain the determinations ?

Q4: Paleo: how to indentify the two peaks at MegiddoStep 2

Integration, Combine analysis of Megiddo as a case study .Other cases?

“The program is designed to support excellent research groups, particular ly in universities, in order to promote broad research activity at the highest level on a large scale…to develop innovative research areas in basic research in universities and encourage research initiatives - disciplinary.”

“The program requires participation of several research teams of independent joint project.”

“Support research focus is eight years”

“The first period of the grant funding (4 years) is up $ 1.5 million in the Natural Sciences and $ 750,000 in the Humanities and Social .Sciences”
