Document Details : Title: Political strategies and the settlement pattern in early Iron Age Philistia Author(s): VANSTEENHUYSE, Klaas Journal: BABESCH Volume: 77 Date: 2002 Pages: 1-8 DOI: 10.2143/BAB.77.0.91 Abstract : The artifacts fortcoming from Palestinian excavations are rarely aesthetically impressing. But since the 'Peleset', who are linked to the biblical Philistines, settled down in this region, the interest rose. Ramses III fought against these 'People of the Sea' in 1175 BC (low chronology). Other sources describe them as an ethnically homogeneous group. But how where they really like? And where exactly did they settled down? This geoarchaeological article, tries to find out settlements patterns and their political background(s). |
