More accurate and precise argon-argon dating will be invaluable in calibrating radiocarbon dating, which is the dominant method of attaching dates to materials such as wood that are younger than about 55,000 years.

Historical accounts of the eruption nearly 2,000 years ago provide a precise timeline that allowed recalibration of one of the most versatile dating methods.

The discovery of the new agora, together with the uncovering of a paved road leading to the southern gate and Iron Age ceramics, challenges the accepted historical narrative of a long phase in which the city stood empty.

Excavations on Hisarlik hill in Turkey have uncovered the site’s oldest agora, proving Troy was resettled 80–90 years after the war, not deserted for centuries before the Aeolians arrived.

Communities in the north-west Maghreb were able to coordinate large construction projects thousands of years ago.
