description Summary: How Old is the Kingdom of Edom? A Review of New Evidence and Recent Discussion Recently Levy et al. have published two papers in which they claim to provide “less biased” high-precision radiocarbon dates from Khirbat en-Nahas in southern Jordan, and on the basis of those dates make wider claims for the dating and development of the Iron Age of southern Jordan (the kingdom of Edom). Levy et al. 2004 present two sets of data. The first set are the standard calibrated radiocarbon dates. The second set are Bayesian calibrated dates. In the case of Khirbat en-Nahas, the BCal results are the opposite of what one would expect: not only are the BCal ranges wider than the “normal” calibrated ranges, but they are also consistently earlier. The second claim that Levy et al. make is that of the rise of secondary state formation in Edom in the 10th century BC, on the basis of the presence of the copper industry and the fortress. The presence of a 10th or 9th century BC fortress at Khirbat en-Nahas is no indication, let alone proof, of the early rise of the Edomite kingdom.
