| Σύνοψη: | The excavations at Tel Mikne-Ekron have revealed a previously unknown regional culture of the Iron Age. Together with the excavations at Tel Batash-Timna, a composite portrait of great economic prosperity in the seventh century B.C.E. in this region on the border of Judah can be completed. The production of olive oil and perhaps flax or other textiles brought significant economic wealth to the cities and communities of the Philistia/Judea region. Ekron, a modest site in the centuries before the Assyrian takeover of the region, grew to become the most impressive olive oil production centre in the ancient Near East. Judah and Samaria, formerly very hostile towards this Philistine city, were the major suppliers of olives to the industry at Ekron. All these centrally planned agricultural and economic activities originated from the Assyrian Kings' economic strategies and political dominance in the region that resulted in an era of co-existence between ethnic groups previously unknown in the region. What materialized at Ekron from mature and clever economic strategies combined with people skills can serve as a model from which governments can gain much insight, especially the present South African government. |
