| Summary: | This paper attempts to interpret group identities along the Canaanite coast in the Early Iron Age, beginning with an analysis of functional and symbolic properties of ceramics. The starting point is the material culture of Dor, the SKL town according to Egyptian testimony. It is argued that there are significant differences between specific aspects of the material culture of Philistia and that on the coast to its north, but that these do not stem from some ethnic distinction between Philistines, SKL, SHRDN, and Phoenicians, but from different socioeconomic matrices at the various locales in which new populations were absorbed. These different circumstances also provide the background for the Early Iron Age mercantile activity that is usually termed "Phoenician," and for concomitant group identity. Cypriots on the Levantine littoral had a crucial role in these processes. |
