Event W
Sbeinati et al. (2010) report that Event W was expressed as
a fault branch (I) of a
negative flower structure inside trench C at the al-Harif displaced aqueduct site.
Dating is based on 14C analysis. Faulting occurred between
units f and g, making it younger than g (3400–300 BCE) and older than f
(800–510 BCE), thus constraining Event W to 3400–510 BCE. Bayesian modeling
of radicarbon evidence further constrains the timing to 2300-500 BCE.
Sbeinati et al. (2010) also proposed that an estimate of the
sedimentation rate in unit f suggests that the event occurred before 926 BCE leading
to a window from 2300 to 926 BCE.
