Kenyon's Dating System


The method seen below was proposed by Kenyon and is still used today.

Pre-Pottery Neolithic A 8500-7500 BCe
Pre-Pottery Neolithic B 7500-6000 BCe
Pottery Neolithic A 6000-5000 BCe
Pottery Neolithic B 5000-4300 BCe
(Mazar, 1992)

However some of her other dating systems are not as widely accepted, such as her Proto- Urban section, which Wright has called EB1A and EB1B. Kenyons EB1 came after Wrights EB1a and EB1b and is parallel to Wrights EB1c.
