Comments on an article by Michael and Betancourt arguing for an early date for the Thera eruption (same issue). The author discusses the interpretation of pottery styles, the dating evidence, and trends in Egyptian historical chronology, arguing that these do not favor the proposed early date. (See also article by Aitken, same issue). -- AATA
