Evidence context

How this source is used

Evidence roles describe what this source helps establish inside each Investigation. They are local to that use, not permanent labels attached to the publication itself.

Investigation

Did the Exodus occur during a global astronomical catastrophe?

Qualifies

Original 2006 olive-branch analysis estimated 1627–1600 BCE for Thera under its calibration assumptions; the date is not independently a date for Exodus.

Per-source study access and uncertainty documented in B09 R02–R03; not independent direct verification of the overarching historical event.

Investigation

Were the plagues of Egypt caused by a cosmic catastrophe?

Qualifies

The 2006 olive-branch radiocarbon estimate documents a regional Santorini eruption chronology, not a global astronomical cause of the ten plagues.

Radiocarbon source sampling or full primary tables require the explicit individual B09 R02 evidence-access qualification.
