| Summary: | Distributed along the Phoenician coast (from Al Mina in the north to Tel Dor and Jezreel Valley in the south), chalice-shaped Phoenician vessels have been attributed to the late eighth and the seventh century BCE. The same vessels, however, have been identified within assemblages from the Jerusalem and Benjamin areas dating from the early sixth century BCE. While the proximity of the Jezreel Valley to Phoenicia may explain their presence in Yoqneʿam and Tel Qiri, their presence in the Judaean Hills — in the City of David, in a burial cave at ʿAlmit, and at Tell en-Nasbeh — is extraordinary. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the evidence of this geographical distribution and to consider how a renewed analysis may broaden our current understanding of connections between Judah and Phoenicia during the final days of the Judahite kingdom and possibly even during the Babylonian domination of Judah. |
