The volcanic eruption of Santorini was the greatest in historical
times. Assigned to the Late Minoan IA period, archaeological
correlations implied a date late in the 16th century BC. Yet
indirect natural science evidence suggested a date in the 17th
century. The dating ceased to be indirect when branches of olive
trees were found buried in the debris of the eruption. The
radiocarbon Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS) dating technique
and the intcal04 calibration curve suggested a two-sigma range date
between 1600 and 1627 BC. The debate continues; the papers here
cover the radiocarbon results, the ice cores, the geology, and the
archaeology, offering in-depth access to a controversy linking the
natural sciences and the humanities. Aside from volcanologists, it
will interest scholars of Bronze Age Aegean archaeology, the
chronology of the eastern Mediterranean in the second millennium
BC, archaeological methodology, the principles of radiocarbon
dating and its application to Bronze Age sources.
