She noted that the dates calculated with the 5730 half-life are the preferred
ones, and that, according to Zaki Iskander, the historical date for P-726
is 1343 B.C. She further wrote that “Since we prefer to release only
series of C-14 dates rather than one or two isolated ones, I have included
a list and a graph of other C-14 dates for samples from Egypt which have
been published previously.”]
*The letter is not reprinted
here owing to the objection of the author.
