Identifying a water source in an occupation area at Tel Shimron, Israel
Feeding the Philistine city. An isotopic investigation of animal resources at Ashkelon in the Iron I
Dental wear in a marine economy
In the Iron Age IIA Philistine cemetery at Ashkelon (modern Israel), roughly 11% of individuals exhibit severe and highly variable dental wear, which we explore here at two timescales: wear that accumulates over days and weeks (microwear) and wear that accumulates over months and years (macrowear). Using teeth from both adult and nonadult individuals, we first established categories of dental macrowear patterns and sorted individuals within them.…
A Radiocarbon Sequence for the Late Bronze to Iron Age Transition at Ashkelon
From 1985–2014, the Leon Levy Expedition to Ashkelon excavated a trench on the north side of Ashkelon’s central mound (Grid 38) exposing a Bronze and Iron Age sequence over an area of some 450 m2. By combining different radiocarbon sampling strategies used over the years of excavation, an absolute chrono-cultural scheme is constructed for the latter half of the 2nd millennium b.c.e. with a focus on the transition to the Iron Age. This chronology …
Nebuchadnezzar at Ashkelon
Nebuchadnezzar burned the city of Ashkelon to the ground in the late 7th century B. C. E. in order to erase Ashkelon from history. Ironically, this very act froze the 7th century city in time, preserving its material remains for thousands of years. The Leon Levy Expedition to Ashkelon has worked for decades to show how Ashkelon's ruins give us unique insight into the dynamic international world of the late Iron Age.

The Wide Lens in Archaeology
This book honors the memory of Brian Hesse, a scholar of Near Eastern archaeology, a writer of alliterative and punned publication titles, and an accomplished amateur photographer. Hesse specialized in zooarchaeology, but he influenced a wider range of excavators and ancient historians with his broad interpretive reach. He spent much of his career analyzing faunal materials from different countries in the Middle East-including Iran, Yemen, and Is…

The Philistine Cemetery of Ashkelon
From 2013 to 2016, the Leon Levy Expedition to Ashkelon excavated an Iron Age IIA cemetery immediately adjacent to the ancient city. This research uncovered over 200 individuals buried in simple pits, built tombs, and cremation jars. The discovery represents a fundamental contribution to the history of the Philistines, as it demonstrates, for the first time, a typical burial practice for Philistine adults in the Iron Age. As such, it becomes a ty…
The Basilica, Bouleuterion, and Civic Center of Ashkelon
Five seasons of excavation (2008–2012) undertaken by the Leon Levy Expedition to Ashkelon in the area of the forum of Roman Ashkelon (ancient Askalōn), a major seaport on the southern Levantine coast, have revealed a continuous sequence of occupation and building activity from the Hellenistic to the Crusader periods. Of primary interest are two monumental Roman phases: a first-century C.E. basilical structure that housed the city’s bouleuterion a…
Imported Cypriot Pottery in Twelfth-Century B.C. Ashkelon
It has been suggested that the collapse of the Late Bronze Age trading networks severed connections between Cyprus and the Philistine cities of the southern Levant. However, the excavators of the Leon Levy Expedition to Ashkelon have uncovered two examples of vessels made in Cyprus and then imported to Philistia during the mid-12th century b.c. These vessels are characterized below, and the consequences of their discovery are briefly addressed
Economy and Exchange in the Iron Age Kingdoms of the Southern Levant
Studies of the ancient world, and of the ancient Near East in particular, disagree over how to characterize the ancient economy. This paper attempts to contribute to this discussion by outlining an economic framework for the Iron Age kingdoms of the southern Levant. Three institutions—the kingdom, the market, and the trade route—provided opportunities for exchange, each according to a distinct economic rationale

Trade and Politics
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…
Iron Age Shipwrecks in Deep Water off Ashkelon, Israel
In 1997, two shipwrecks were first discovered in the Mediterranean Sea west of Israel by the U.S. Navy's research Submarine NR-1. Further investigation in 1999 with the remotely operated vehicle system Medea/Jason found the wrecks to be from the eighth century B.C., the earliest known shipwrecks to be found in the deep sea. Both ships appear to be of Phoenician origin, laden with cargoes of fine wine destined for either Egypt or Carthage, when th…
