| Resumo: | Recent excavations by the Leon Levy Expedition to Ashkelon have uncovered a wealth of new information regarding ancient life in the southern Levant. Perhaps no era has been as successfully illuminated as the seventh century B. C. E. where, as a major Mediterranean port and fortified city on the route between Assyria and Egypt, Ashkelon had a role in both the military and economic changes that swept through the southern Levant. This study examines the nature of Ashkelon's political connections to the military power of the Neo-Assyrian empire and presents new evidence that outlines Ashkelon's trading connections with Phoenicia as a major factor behind the economic growth of Ashkelon in the seventh century B. C. E. Specifically, the petrographic examination of Ashkelon's pottery reveals little connection with the Assyrian provincial system and considerable interaction with the Phoenician maritime economy. |
