Abstract
The absolute chronology of the beginning of the Aegean Late Bronze Age has been a source of controversy, debate, and frustration for a generation. We present a set of radiocarbon dates on short-lived samples produced by the Oxford Radiocarbon Laboratory from Late Minoan (LM) IB contexts on Crete collected in an attempt to resolve this problem. We argue that they provide important new evidence suggesting the close of the LM IB phase <i>c</i>. 1525–1490bc. This provides strong evidence for a revised, “high”, chronology for the LM IB phase.
