| Summary: | Recent excavations at Tel Dor, Israel (1987-1988), showed that the city of the Tjeker (a tribe of Sea Peoples), a large, well-fortified town (Stratum XII), had been destroyed violently ca. mid-11th century B. C. That destruction left a huge layer of ashes and debris. The first Israelite town was constructed, however, only at the end of that century or the beginning of the next. Two interim occupation strata (Strata XI-X and IX) yielded rare Cypriot White Painted I pottery vases and early Phoenician Bichrome vessels, all well dated to the second half of the 11th century B. C. The city of the Sea Peoples seems to have been destroyed and resettled later by the Phoenicians in their move from Tyre and Sidon toward the south. Later they were blocked by the Israelites. The final border between the two peoples was settled during Solomon's time, when the Israelites agreed to return Cabul to the Tyrians. |
