Ancient Israel did not emerge within a vacuum but rather came to
exist alongside various peoples, including Canaanites, Egyptians,
and Philistines. Indeed, Israel's very proximity to these groups
has made it difficult - until now - to distinguish the
archaeological traces of early Israel and other contemporary
groups. Through an analysis of the results from recent excavations
in light of relevant historical and later biblical texts, this book
proposes that it is possible to identify these peoples and trace
culturally or ethnically defined boundaries in the archaeological
record. Features of late second-millennium B.C.E. culture are
critically examined in their historical and biblical contexts in
order to define the complex social boundaries of the early Iron Age
and reconstruct the diverse material world of these four peoples.
Of particular value to scholars, archaeologists, and historians,
this volume will also be a standard reference and resource for
students and other readers interested in the emergence of early
Israel.
