Ash-Mor et al. (2017) described Event A in R/V Mediterranean Explorer Canyon Core P22 as a 6 cm thick Mass Transport Deposit. They provided an unmodeled ¹⁴C age of 4071 ± 55 cal years BP which is slightly younger than the event and corresponds to approximately 2121 BCE.

Color bar represent % of grain size differential distribution by volume. Black dots represent the chronological age of the pelagic sediments, whereas diamonds represent the different color groups of LBF shells from within the MTDs - click on either image to open in a new tab - left image from Kanari et al.
