Figure 5

Modeling dating outcomes for the olive branch from Santorini. Given different scenarios based on chronological anomalies we observed in modern olive wood (scenarios 4–8), the radiocarbon date (uncalibrated age of 3331 ± 10) from the last segment of olive wood buried alive under the tephra at Santorini13 was calibrated and modeled. A bold line marks the date for the beginning of the New Kingdom at 1570 BCE.
