| Summary: | In 2009, the Leon Levy Expedition to Ashkelon uncovered Building 572, a well-preserved, multi-roomed Iron Age mudbrick structure constructed in the twelfth century BCE, concurrent with the early settlement of the Philistines in Ashkelon. The building itself is an excellent example of Philistine domestic architectural traditions that would persist throughout the Iron Age I. At the centre of the building, an enigmatic four-horned installation was accompanied by an assemblage of artefacts that provide insight into Philistine cultic practice, while illustrating the eclectic and international nature of early Philistine settlement. |
