A significant problem in archaeology is the inconsistency between the radiocarbon chronology and the chronology built on the Near Eastern written sources. At the same time, the use of a more advanced AMS method gives younger dates that drift towards historical ones. Comparison of the Eurasian Sintashta and Seima-Turbino complexes with Near Eastern and Chinese materials, as well as with the dendrochronology of the Alpine zone, showed the closeness of these chronological systems. It follows from this that historical dates are more correct than radiocarbon dates.
