Table 5:1 - Radiocarbon Data (* signifies the most likely date range)

Note: the Heidelberg C14 lab dated another sample from Kilise Tepe, which was submitted for dendrochronological analysis. This sample came from the foundation of a building in phase IIc, which post-dates Level IIIe stratigraphically by some time (perhaps a century) - see above. This dendrochronological plus C14 dating for the foundation of the Level IIc building is significantly earlier (by perhaps as much as a century) than we might have guessed, and falls towards the earlier end of the date range for the phase IIIe, given to us by J20/125. It means, I think, that we have to allow for the timber in the foundations being recycled from an earlier building.
