Resumen de A light in the dark: archaeological wiggle matching and the absolute chronology of the close of the Aegean Late Bronze Age

Sturt W. Manning, Bernhard Weninger

• The conventional chronology of the Aegean Late Bronze Age was challenged by P.J. James and his co-workers in Centuries of darkness (1991). The present paper is an exhaustive and critical re-examination of radiocarbon dates from a number of key sites in the region using the technique of probabilistic computer archaeological wiggle matching which concludes that the conventional arhcaeological chronology still holds good (whatever the flaws in its original construction) on the basis of the independent radiocarbon evidence.
