Crisis in context: the end of the Late Bronze Age in the eastern Mediterranean

A. Bernard Knapp, Sturt W. Manning, 2016. American Journal of Archaeology 120(1), 99–149.

Reviews the explanations (migration, raiders, political struggle, systems collapse, core-periphery inequality, climate and natural disaster, disease) and the ambiguity of the evidence, warns against over-precise chronologies and single causes, and notes that the changes occurred at different times from the mid to late 13th through the 12th century BC.
