ScienceDaily did Gath yesterday. I was reminded of another brick-dating scheme, from Haaretz - also noting Gath but more in-passing. Joab "Yoav" Vaknin did both papers.
Gath was very important up to the late ninth century BC. Fifteen months ago Vaknin mooted Gath's destruction in green as "Aramaean", "ca 830". Now they say definitively Hazael. I mean, they can at least prove the burning was premeditated . . .
Or was that just a thing in those days that these southwest Palestinian towns could expect to be sacked a lot? I mean as opposed to nowadays.
