Abstract

Ancient sources and archaeological record have been sounded out by scholars in search of chronological reference points, anchors to fix in time strata and related sets of material culture. A reliable timetable has been traditionally provided by the Egyptian Pharaohs’ list, recently also verified through a radiocarbon-based regeneration. It was useful when Egyptian inscribed items were found in primary deposition, even though also Egyptian chronology has its own uncertainties. Furthermore, radiocarbon dating when used as a clue to check if one or another chronological reconstruction was reliable, proved to be not so accurate to become a decisive tool for 1st millennium BC chronology.
