This study concentrates on Philistine decorated pottery, its
production centres and trade patterns. These issues are examined by
both archaeological and archaeometric approaches. Over recent
years, a considerable amount of data has been accumulated on
Philistine sites, especially from the excavations at Tel
Miqne-Ekron, and the new excavations at Ashkelon and Tell es-Safi.
Thus, although a vast literature already exists on the Philistines,
their material culture and related issues, there has been very
little study that systematically combines all this data.
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.
This well-illustrated volume presents the evidence from Stratum
Pre-IC of the end of the 8th century, from Strata IC and IB of the
7th century, when Ekron achieved the zenith of its physical growth
and prosperity, and from Stratum IA, the final Iron Age IIC phase
of the early 6th century BCE. It offers a detailed discussion of
the Iron Age IIC occupational history; a comprehensive analysis of
the ceramic assemblages; a quantitative analysis of the pottery
from the main Stratum IB buildings; and studies on vessel capacity,
ceramic, lithic, ivory, and metal objects, jewelry, scarabs, faunal
remains, and fish bones. Published under the auspices of the
Harvard Museum of the Ancient Near East, this volume concludes the
publication of the results of the nine seasons of excavation
conducted in Field IV Lower between 1985 and 1995, directed by
Trude Dothan and Seymour Gitin and sponsored by the W. F. Albright
Institute of Archaeological Research and the Hebrew University of
Jerusalem. Companion volumes published in 2016: —Field IV
Lower—The Elite Zone, Part 1: The Iron Age I Early Philistine
City by Trude Dothan, Yosef Garfinkel and Seymour Gitin; —Part
3A: The Iron Age I and IIC Early and Late Philistine Cities
Database (see links tab); —Part 3B: The Iron Age I and IIC Early
and Late Philistine Cities Plans and Sections The final reports on
the two large Iron Age I and IIC Philistines cities in Field IV
Lower offer a comprehensive view of the history of Ekron from its
initial establishment and development in the Iron Age I until its
destruction in the late Iron Age II. The searchable database and
print version of the sections and plans provide a unique
opportunity for readers to access and evaluate the excavators’
observations and conclusions.
Tel Miqne-Ekron Field IV Lower—The Elite Zone, The Iron Age I and
IIC, The Early and Late Philistine Cities, Parts 9/1-9/3B present
the evidence of two large Philistines cites, one in Iron I, the
period of its initial development, and the other in Iron IIC, its
final stage when it achieved its zenith of physical growth and
prosperity. They also offer a unique opportunity to check and
evaluate the excavators' observations and conclusions based on
their comprehensive database. Published under the auspices of the
Harvard Museum of the Ancient Near East, they comprise the final
reports of the nine seasons of excavations during the years
1985-1995, directed by Trude Dothan and Seymour Gitin and sponsored
by the W. F. Albright Institute of Archaeological Research and the
Hebrew University. Volume 9/1, The Iron Age I Early Philistine City
covers Strata VII-IV, the 12th-early 10th centuries BCE. It
includes a detailed discussion of the occupational history of the
period with a comprehensive analysis of the ceramic assemblages and
a selection of ceramic, lithic, clay, and metal objects with
detailed discussions of jewelry, scarabs and ivory objects, as well
as the faunal evidence. Volume 9/2, The Iron Age IIC Late
Philistine City, which presents the evidence from Stratum I of the
7th and early 6th century BCE, is in press. Volume 9/3B The Iron
Age I and IIC Late and Early Philistine Cities Plans and Sections
includes every plan and section of each excavated Area in Field IV
Lower.
This is the first monograph dedicated to the site of Socoh in the
Judean Shephelah. Our research was initiated in 2010 as an
intensive survey by the Institute of Archaeology, Southern
Adventist University, and the Institute of Archaeology, The Hebrew
University of Jerusalem. The study incorporates historical sources
that are listed and analyzed, including the Bible, ancient Near
Eastern, Byzantine, and Medieval records. A history of the research
conducted over the past 190 years by explorers, geographers, and
archaeologists is compiled, before providing the full report on the
results of an intensive site survey conducted at Socoh in 2010.
Finally, specialized studies of the finds and a report of recent
salvage excavations of burial caves, looted by antiquity robbers
nearby, give a state-of-the-art presentation of the latest
information known about this important biblical site in southern
Judah.
