520 |a Since the publication of the comprehensive provenance study of the Amama letters by Goren, Finkelstein and Na'aman (2004), several suggestions were made for the identification of city-states in southern Canaan. This article discusses the provenance of Letters EA 294 and EA 296 in light of new petrographic data, as well as the archaeological and textual evidence. It is proposed that the previous identification of the provenance of these two letters at Tel Ashdod should be revised. It is likely that the correspondence was sent from a site in the northwestern Shephelah, from Tel Batash. This identification is in keeping with the content of Letters EA 294 and EA 296 and the location of Tel Batash, as well as the ample archaeological evidence from the site. It is further suggested that the Late Bronze Age city of Tel Batash should be identified with a place called 'Tianna' that is mentioned in the Amarna correspondence.
