Pottery vessels decorated in typical Philistine bichrome style were found in almost every archaeological site excavated in the Jezreel Valley. In many other sites within the area that were studied only by surface survey, decorated sherds of the same type were found. Some of the surveyed sites are small fortified fortresses, others are unwalled villages that might be considered early Israelite settlements. The ashlar fortresses and the Philistine pottery are both dated stylistically and stratigraphically to two distinct phases: early 12th and late 11th centuries B. C. These facts might add relevant data for reconstructing the history of the valley during the early stages of the so-called Israelite period (Early Iron Age) and the relative role of the Philistines (and perhaps other Sea Peoples) in this part of Palestine. In every site, collared-rim pithoi were found in the same context as the bichrome decorated Philistine sherds
