This ninth archaeological report of the Leon Levy Expedition
presents the material remains of Ashkelon's Hellenistic-period
occupation. Drawing together contributions from a range of
specialists, it adduces the evidence from Ashkelon's material
record to address larger economic, cultural, and political
questions of the Hellenistic era. From dense urban neighborhoods to
monumental public spaces, this volume presents a survey of the
city's architecture and a detailed analysis of its ceramic
assemblage alongside specialist studies of coins, botanical and
faunal remains, and small finds. It provides a reconstruction of
Ashkelon's historical arc and economic networks and explores the
material evidence for cultural and political influence throughout
the Ptolemaic, Seleucid, and early Roman empires. In so doing, it
explores Ashkelon's transition from being a Phoenician city under
the Persians to a nominally Greek city under the Ptolemies or
Seleucids. Featuring more than twenty-six chapters written by
experts in the field and a wealth of detailed color and
black-and-white illustrations, Ashkelon 9 is an essential
contribution to the study of Hellenistic archaeology in Israel. It
will be a valuable resource for archaeologists, biblical scholars,
and Hellenists specializing in this period both in Israel and in
the broader Mediterranean. In addition to the author, the
contributors to this volume are Donald Ariel, Deirdre N. Fulton,
Omri Lernau, John M. Marston, and Anastasia Shapiro.
