      "basis": "Hazor has a major terminal Late Bronze destruction. Tell es-Sultan preserves a separately reported Late Bronze Middle Building destruction within Sultan Vb, whose updated periodization extends to c. 1200/1190 BCE. The adopted timeline places Joshua’s campaign c. 1223–1217 BCE, before the Merneptah Israel anchor.",
      "caution": "This cross-link does not assert that Jericho and Hazor were destroyed in the same year, by the same army, or by Joshua. It makes the independent stratigraphic horizons visible as chronological tests of the adopted reconstruction.",
