English summary: The Philistines were immigrants from the Aegean
region and Cyprus arriving at the southern coast of
Palestine/Israel during the 12th century BCE. They created a
distinct material culture in this region during the Iron Age (ca.
1.200-600 BCE). This book presents and discusses the corpus of
iconographic representations of the Philistine culture. The
assemblage studied includes objects in various media: decoration on
pottery, figurative pottery, figurines, ivory carving, glyptics and
other items. The figurative style and symbolism represented in the
culture of the Philistines reflects both their bonds with their
Aegean homeland and the ongoing process of interactions with the
local host cultures in the southern Levant. Iconography thus
provides an important set of evidence for understanding social,
ethnic, religious and ideological aspects of the Philistine society
and its neighbours in the East Mediterranean. German description:
Die Philister waren Migranten aus der Agais und Zypern, die sich
wahrend des 12. Jahrhunderts v.Chr. an der Sudkuste
Palastinas/Israels ansiedelten. Wahrend der Eisenzeit (ca. 1200-600
v.Chr.) entwickelten sie eine distinguierte Kultur. David
Ben-Shlomo prasentiert und diskutiert den Bestand der
ikonographischen Darstellungen der Philisterkultur. Die
Untersuchung schliesst verschiedenartige Objekte ein, u.a.
Tonmalereien, Statuen, Eisenschnitzereien, Glyptik. Der figurliche
Stil und der Symbolismus spiegelt sowohl die Ruckbindung der
Philisterkultur an die agaische Heimat als auch den laufenden
Prozess der Interaktion mit den lokalen Gastkulturen in der
sudlichen Levante eindrucklich wider. Die Ikonographie liefert so
ein bedeutendes Zeugnis, das die sozialen, ethnischen, religiosen
und ideologischen Aspekte der Philister und ihrer Nachbarn im
ostlichen Mittelmeerraum besser zu verstehen hilft.
