Figure 3 Stratigraphic section of Ein Feshkha outcrop and (right) age-depth deposition model derived by OxCal 4.1. Breccias are marked in section by hatched black layers. Probability density functions (histograms) on the graph give model ages for radiocarbon calibrated ages (marked with arrows; arrow directions are meaningless) and model boundaries (details given in Table 3). The histograms give the distributions for the single calibrated dates while the darker center part of each histogram take into account the stratigraphic information (see section 4 and Bronk Ramsey [2008] for model specifics). The depth model curves are envelopes for the 95% (outer, lighter, approximately 2σ) and 68% (inner, darker, approximately 1σ) highest probability density ranges. Color of model age curve changes at boundaries. Kagan et al (2011)	Age Model	Kagan et al (2011)

Table 3 Ze'elim and Ein Feshka Seismites with Model Ages and Historic Event Correlation LS, local source, moderate earthquake, not appearing in the historical catalogs, may have produced these seismites Gully depth below fan delta surface Seismite type A, Intraclast breccia layer B, Microbreccia (“homogenite” to the naked eye) C, liquefied sand D, Folded laminae E, Small offsets Q, Questionable as seismite. See Table 1 and Figure 2. Model ages of seismites extrapolated from deposition model (see section 5 for details) Fit of historical earthquake dates within 1σ or 2σ calibrated age ranges of seismites. Although model ages are tabulated here with 1 year precision for convenience, event fit considers the realistic precision of 10 years (see section 5.1) All other possible events within the age probability range (1σ or 2σ range) of the designated earthquake; 1068a refers to March 1068 A.D., and 1068b refers to May 1068 A.D. (see Table A1) Outside model range, extrapolated from model (Figure 4) Outside model range, estimated based on below and above radiocarbon ages (Figure 4) Alternately, this historic earthquake could have formed seismites below or above the one marked Kagan et al (2011)	Seismite Assignment Table 3 Ze'elim and En Feshka	Kagan et al (2011)

Figure 7 Recurrence intervals and cumulative number of breccias in time. Ein Feshkha (EFE) Ein Gedi (EG) Zeelim (ZA1 and ZA2) Diamonds represent breccias circled diamonds are the IBS (intrabasin seismites) Horizontal gray bars indicate periods of seismic quiescence (left) the earlier period is recorded at EG and ZA, and (right) the younger quiescence period is recorded at all three sites. Horizontal lines connect IBS events at the three sites. Kagan et al (2011)	Figure 7 Recurrence intervals and cumulative number of breccias in time	Kagan et al (2011)
