Alfonsi et al. (2012:Table 1) asserts archaeoseismic evidence for a Sultan III a1 earthquake in Early Bronze IA, citing Kenyon (1957, 1978), Ben-Menahem (1991), and Ambraseys (2009). Ambraseys (2009) States that Kenyon discovered an earthquake in "stratum EBA I," dated to betweeen 3400 and 3100 BCE. Kenyon (1981:204–205) notes Early Bronze Age destructions in Trench III (Site N), Stage XVI, phases lxi–lxiii, which may be related to earthquake activity.
