| Summary: | This contribution offers comparative evidence to the previous contribution on Philistine feasting.

Although the cultural manifestations seen were very different from those of ancient Near Eastern cultures, various aspects which I witnessed provide interesting analogies for understanding ancient feasting in general, and archaeological evidence of feasting from the ancient Near East in particular. |
