Abstract

This work concerns the presence of pottery boundaries in the Levant, and in particular their variations between the last centuries of the 2nd millennium (Late Bronze Age II) and the beginning of the 1st millennium (Iron Age I and II). The goal is to demonstrate the significant continuity that characterises two ceramic traditions that, although rather different at first sight, on closer analysis show several traits in common. At the same time this analysis explores the occurrence of local pottery traditions that may help to understand in more detail the genesis of the “Phoenician phenomenon”. A further aim of this study is to demonstrate the indissoluble links between Phoenician societies and their preceding LB Canaanite counterparts. This gives a more detailed picture of the origin of Phoenician culture, as well as the dynamics that shaped its development during the first three centuries of the first millennium BCE.
