Copper, crises and the birth of kings: what happened in the early Iron Age?

Join Bruce Routledge, from the University of Liverpool at the British Museum. Routledge will show how new radiocarbon dates from archaeological sites in Jordan, Israel and Palestine suggest widespread social and economic changes across the southern Levant early in the 10th century BC. These changes suggest an interesting new narrative of how and why kingdoms emerged in this region at end of the early Iron Age. This lecture is jointly organised by the British Museum, Palestine Exploration Fund and Anglo-Israel Archaeological Society
