This paper deals with the question of trade in the Early Iron Age Mediterranean and a possible relationship between Phoenicians and Greeks. It is based upon a catalogue of Egyptian and Egyptianising artefacts and shows that distribution patterns of amulets support the idea that there were two major groups of Phoenician traders operating: a northern (Sidonian) group and a southern (Tyrian) group. It contends that these groups not only distributed objects differently, but used different methods and that a Sidonian-Greek era of co-operation before the destruction of Sidon in the 7th century was decisive in both the impetus to trade and the directionality of trade
