Summary
Chronology underpins all archaeological and historical studies. To establish the proper sequence of events is a prerequisite for writing history. The synchronisation of chronologies, and therefore of the histories, of the various areas of the Eastern Mediterranean and the Near East is an essential task without which the development of civilisations, their reciprocal influences, their convergence and divergence, cannot be described and understood.
The ultimate goal of the ARCANE project is to produce a reliable, relative and absolute chronology of the Near East and the Eastern Mediterranean, based on the synchronisation of regional chronologies for the third millennium BC.
