| Summary: | Outside of a few scattered inscriptions and historical references, little information exists concerning Phoenician activities in Hellenistic Palestine. Now, however, a ceramic ware of demonstrably late Hellenistic date and Phoenician (probably Tyrian) origin has been identified, along with the corpus of shapes produced in it and their various distributions. The ware is called Phoenician semi fine, and its distribution pattern reflects later second century B. C. Phoenician market routes. Vendors apparently serviced only two regions: the city and hinterland of ʿAkko-Ptolemais and the Hula Valley. Notably, though the country's Phoenician population was dispersed in both the south and the north, regular demand for these Phoenician products was solely in the north. Northern "colonists" may have been less willing to assimilate than Phoenicians living in the south. The stronger cultural and economic ties maintained between the north and Tyre may have been a factor in the region's subsequent political restructuring. |
