Recent archaeomagnetic data from ancient Israel revealed the existence of a so-called “Levantine Iron Age geomagnetic anomaly” (LIAA) which spanned the first 350 years of the first millennium BCE and was characterized by a high averaged geomagnetic field (Virtual Axial Moment, VADM > 140 ZAm2, nearly twice of today's field), short decadal-scale geo...

We present new archaeointensity data from Georgia from ca. 3000 BCE to 1500 CE. Forty-eight potsherds and fired clays were subjected to Thellier-type paleointensity experiment using the IZZI protocol (Tauxe and Staudigel, 2004) with routine pTRM check. We observed an excellent agreement between samples collected from the same site, supporting the p...

... global model (Pavón-Carrasco et al. 2014). This model was chosen because it was implemented without the new high-intensity data from the Levantine region published after 2014 (Shaar et al. 2016(Shaar et al. , 2017, consequently, this global model does not reproduce the LIAA event as seen in Fig. 1 ) are approximated to zero in Eq. 9. This approximation simplifies our approach but we have to check if it is suitable. ...
... The first geomagnetic record of these "geomagnetic spikes" was observed in the Levantine region around 900 BC (Ben-Yosef et al. 2009;Shaar et al. 2011), and named as the Levantine Iron Age anomaly (LIAA, Shaar et al. 2013Shaar et al. , 2016. This event was initially characterized by a local intensity maximum associated to extremely high values of the virtual axial dipole moment (VADM) up to 190 ZAm 2 (note that the global mean VADM for the same time period was around 110 ZAm 2 according to the GEOMAGIA database of Brown et al. 2021). ...
